Summer Weather Forecast For Marina Del Rey

MARINA DEL REY, CA — With the official start of summer just weeks away, planning has begun for the residents of Marina del Rey who look forward to the warmer weather and increased opportunity for outdoor fun.

Specific, long-term weather predictions can help with that planning, and the private weather company AccuWeather has released its 2021 summer weather forecast.

Daily forecasts for Marina del Rey are listed until early August. After that, AccuWeather lists the historical average temperature for the rest of the summer.

Marina del Rey is expected to see mostly sunny and partly cloudy days through summer with the highs in the 70s. Lows are expected in the 60s.

The Golden State faces potential wildfires in the summer months. California had its third-driest winter in history, which left water reservoir levels below normal, according to AccuWeather. The snowpack across the mountains is not expected to be enough to feed reservoirs throughout the summer.

A drought emergency was issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom for most of California in May. The U.S. Drought Monitor showed most of the state is in extreme drought, with parts of the American West under exceptional drought. Drought conditions have worsened recently just a few years after the Golden State emerged from a punishing multiyear dry spell.

Nationally, AccuWeather predicts an eventful summer similar to the 2020 season, which brought record-breaking deaths and damage in the form of wildfires and hurricanes.

Meteorologists are also expecting the return of derechos, a weather phenomenon sometimes referred to as an “inland hurricane.” The term became more widely known about last summer when one swept through Iowa with winds faster than 100 miles per hour on August 10.

“We are still very nervous about the possibility of derechos developing based on the pattern that we’re forecasting” Paul Pastelok, AccuWeather’s chief long-range forecaster, said in a statement.

This year, the most extreme weather is expected in the early fall, Pastelok added.

Although the number of tropical storms is predicted to be down from recent years, AccuWeather says tornadoes are likely to be on the rise from May until July.

Pastelok said anywhere from 1,300 to 1,400 tornadoes could be reported by the end of the year, a slight increase from 2020.

“Across the Plains, we’re still going to be watching for the possibility of a flare-up of storms, mainly central areas on north during the month of May, June and early July,” Pastelok said in a statement.

These storms are expected to extend farther east than normal, Pastelok added, due to drought conditions that range from Montana to the Texas Panhandle.
