What the numbers don't tell you

February is the wettest month on average, with rain on about one days and mild afternoons around 19 °C between storms, and the Grammys, Presidents' Day weekend and Valentine's Day. The hills turn green. Whale watching off Palos Verdes and Long Beach is at its peak. It is one of the better-value months. The Lunar New Year parade fills Chinatown.

The Frieze Los Angeles art fair falls in late February. The Oscars follow in March. The Griffith Park trails are at their greenest. Disneyland's Lunar New Year celebration runs through the month. Daylight passes eleven hours by month-end. For the Oscars, the Marathon and the superbloom in a wet year, see March.
