The year, day by day
The year in Hollywood runs from a mild 59°F around January 18 to 90°F at the peak near August 3, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 29 through August 18, covering 21 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 1 to December 31.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 59°F around January 18.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is September 9, when 53% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is February 20 at 19%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 129 wet dates a year.
The widest day
January 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 17°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Hollywood Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 65 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 17°F.
Hollywood earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Hollywood runs a summer-peaked wet season
35% of Hollywood's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is June at 8.8", on an unusually narrow 15.7°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: June, September, October, taking 40% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: December at 2.5".
- Winter share: 12% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
When it rains in Hollywood, it arrives in quantity
65.0" of precipitation falls across only about 129 wet days here, averaging 0.50 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 129 a year, 35% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.50 inches
- Most wet days
- September, about 16
- Fewest wet days
- February, about 6
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Hollywood's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Hollywood. Cooling totals 4,220 degree days, more than double the 165 heating measure, and the 15.7°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 65.0 inches of precipitation at Hollywood. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Hollywood's 15.7°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 76°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Hollywood. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Hollywood's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Hollywood that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.
