June was cooler than usual in Los Angeles - San Jose Mercury News

The downtown daily high only reached the 80-degree mark or higher twice in June. The last time it was that cool was in June 1982, when there was only one 80-degree or higher day.

At Los Angeles International Airport, the highest temperature for the month was 71 degrees, the lowest maximum for a June since records began being kept in 1944. The airport's average high temperature last month was 69.3 degrees, the lowest since June 1982.
