Turning to Los Angeles water news as of August 3, 2025, it’s a classic dry, sunny August weekend in the City of Angels—perfect weather for those summer picnics, but not so great if you’re hoping for rain. According to Weather25, Los Angeles is expecting virtually no rainy days in August, with average highs reaching 87 degrees and the month forecasted to bring zero precipitation. That tracks with the Los Angeles Almanac, which reports no measurable rainfall so far this August across both downtown LA and Los Angeles International Airport. Official rainfall for the season starting in July remains at just two-hundredths of an inch for downtown, right on par with the scant “trace” at the airport. The summer dry spell is living up to its reputation.
For all you water-watchers, California’s Hydrology Update from the state water agency confirms that the 2025 water year closed out at about 95 percent of normal across California as of June, but July brought only traces to Southern California and, since then, high pressure has kept the skies stubbornly blue. If you’re hoping for a surprise rainstorm to break up the monotony, you may be waiting until at least October.
On the drinking water front, the big news in the past 48 hours is all about the return of LADWP’s free recycled water fill station. LAist reports that, as of Friday, August 1, Angelenos can once again bring their containers to the Los Angeles-Glendale water fill site and pick up high-quality recycled water at no cost. This eco-friendly option is especially encouraged for watering trees, gardens, and even washing outdoor surfaces, though it’s not intended for drinking. The program aims to ease drought stress on city water supplies while putting clean, treated wastewater to good use.
As far as water quality is concerned, Heal the Bay has wrapped up its most recent post-wildfire analysis of ocean water around LA. After previous winter storms that brought contaminants down from fire-scarred hills, Heal the Bay, together with county health officials, found elevated chemical levels in February. The good news? The most recent advisories along LA’s coast have now been lifted, with ongoing sampling at a dozen beaches maintaining vigilance. However, those planning a beach day should still occasionally check the county’s live updates—recent months have seen short-term warnings at Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro and Mothers Beach in Marina del Rey due to high bacteria counts, though nothing new has been posted for these areas in the past 48 hours.
What does this mean for LA’s summer water reality? If you’re headed outdoors, expect to stay dry—and hydrating with tap water is perfectly safe by all recent accounts. For anyone with thirsty gardens, the free recycled water is a smart, sustainable choice. And while occasional ocean warnings underscore the region’s ongoing water quality challenges, there are no wide-scale advisories in effect this weekend.
