The Los Angeles area has diverse topography and has an array of different climates. Here I list just some of them. Which one do you like the best?
Downtown Los Angeles:
Santa Monica:
Woodland Hills, Los Angeles:
A suburb located in Los Angeles, located in the San Fernando Valley. About a 30 minute drive from downtown Los Angeles (without traffic)
Every single one of these trees was planted there by people
Pasadena:
Home to the famous Rose Bowl college football game. Pasadena receives more rain than downtown Los Angeles due to orographic uplift.

Palmdale:
A far-flung suburb located in the High Desert, a 1 hour drive from downtown Los Angeles (again, without traffic). Not the farthest suburb, neighboring Lancaster is even further from Los Angeles. Its population has grown rapidly, from 12,277 in 1980 to 169,450 in 2020. Apparently, the founders mistook Joshua trees for palm trees
Anaheim:
Most famous for being home to Disneyland.
Riverside:
Large city in the Inland Empire, with a population of 314,998.
Big Bear Lake:
Snow lovers, do not fret, there is something in this climate battle for you. Big Bear Lake is a mountain resort town in the San Bernardino Mountains. It has two ski resorts.
Even though some other cities have more comfortable temperatures, for me Pasadena narrowly wins due to having the most rain.
