What you gain in November
- ↑Early to mid-November is one of the most reliably pleasant stretches of LA weather: 21–23°C, very little rainfall, low humidity, and clear skies. The Santa Ana winds have generally passed and the winter rains have not yet arrived. Hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains and Angeles National Forest is at its most comfortable.
- ↑Hotel prices reach their second-lowest annual point (after January). Mid-range Westside properties run $195–$260/night; boutique Silver Lake and Los Feliz hotels drop to $160–$200. Restaurants throughout the city are at their most bookable.
- ↑The city's dining and arts scene shifts into high gear for fall. The AFI Fest (mid-November, free screenings) at the TCL Chinese Theatre brings world cinema premieres to Hollywood Boulevard.
What you sacrifice
- ↓Thanksgiving week (late November) spikes prices sharply — the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel days in the US and hotel rates across the city jump 40–60% for the holiday weekend itself.
- ↓The first rains of the season can arrive in late November, occasionally as significant multi-day events. After the dry summer, these first storms can cause flash flooding in burn scar areas and traffic chaos citywide.
