The average temperature in July at LAX was 69.4 degrees, about 3.6 degrees below the normal average.
From the statement:
FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE PAST TWO AND A HALF MONTHS...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HAS BEEN LOCATED ALONG OR JUST OFF THE WEST COAST. THIS HAS MAINTAINED A SIGNIFICANT MARINE INFLUENCE ACROSS COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS OF SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA. TYPICAL NIGHT THROUGH MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG...WHICH TEND TO BE ABUNDANT IN MAY AND JUNE...USUALLY BECOME MUCH LESS WIDESPREAD IN JULY AND AUGUST. THE PRESENCE OF THE PERSISTENT TROUGH HAS BEEN A FACTOR IN PREVENTING THE TYPICAL DECREASE IN LOW CLOUDS AND FOG THIS SUMMER. IN ADDITION...OCEAN WATER TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW NORMAL... SO DAILY SEA BREEZES HAVE BEEN EXTRA CHILLY...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
You can read the rest of the statement (which is in all caps, BTW) here.
