Why are weather reports for Los Angeles always wrong?

I was thinking maybe this is true everywhere. But now I don’t think so.

Back east they have to predict snow, rain, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and big extremes in temperature.  That’s a lot to know. But we could read the weather, too..like if the leaves turned inside out, big rainstorm coming. The smell of snow. Like that. And if the weather forecast said snow, we usually got it. And if they said it was over a few inches, we did get snow days off from school! If they said rain, you better be prepared, or get a really big soaking.

We don’t have any of that, unfortunately. Same old, same old. From the weather maps, it looks like SoCal gets weather only from the North/ocean and East/desert. We ignore Mexico. Shouldn’t it be  easier to make predictions when the weather is always the same?? Apparently not.

And the errors usually all go in one direction: the weather people predict cool, and it stays hot. They all predicted a really nice cool week, and I was really looking forward to that. Instead, it’s a scorching depressing 98 degrees.

They now predict it will drop 25 degrees in the next 5 days. Get ready to crank up the air conditioning.
