Memorial Day Weather Forecast In Malibu: Partly Cloudy Skies Ahead

MALIBU, CA — Memorial Day has finally arrived, promising a much needed break, burger and trip to the beach to kick off the unofficial start of the summer. But will the weather in Malibu allow for an outdoor barbecue?

Malibu will see some gloomy weather leading up to the holiday. Friday will come with low clouds and temperatures maxing out at 66 degrees, only lifting slightly Saturday for some sunshine to creep through with a high of 64. Temperatures will remain in the mid to high 60s throughout the region Saturday.

The clouds will remain but the temperatures will rise just in time for Memorial Day in Malibu. AccuWeather forecasts a high of 70 degrees on Sunday and 71 Monday. By Monday the clouds will have parted to create a mostly sunny day.

But don’t forget to pack sunscreen. The ultraviolet index index level for the greater Los Angeles area will reach 10 Sunday and 11 Monday, meaning a fair-skinned person could suffer a sunburn in about four minutes if not protected.

Rain shouldn’t ruin your weekend’s plans; AccuWeather only projects only a 1-2 percent chance of rain in Malibu throughout the weekend.

Planning on heading to the beach? The rip current is predicted to be moderate with 2-4 foot waves and no thunderstorm potential. The water will be cold, around 61-64 degrees Friday and Saturday, according to the National Weather Service for Los Angeles and Oxnard.
