- ·Consider a visor or running cap for sun protection
- ·Hydrate before, during, and after your run. Ease your pace. Your body works harder to cool itself in the heat.

Running in Los Angeles: what the weather does to your run
LA running is defined by dry heat and strong sun more than cold. Mornings are mild and forgiving year-round, but midday UV is no joke even in winter, and Santa Ana winds can spike both temperature and air-quality concerns. Layers are rarely the problem here; sun protection and timing are.
Stop guessing. Start running. Get a personalized recommendation tuned to how you run, plus proactive alerts before your best window, right on your phone.
