Unfortunately, we don't have much English information about Los Angeles, but we have more information in other languages German, French, Italian, Spanish. Here is the automatic translation by Google:

The best seasons are spring and winter. After brief rain, the air is clear and the mountains show themselves in lush greenery with colorful wildflowers. During the day it is warm after sunset, you need a jacket and socks. The same goes for summer near the beach. Here it is early in the morning until midday usually covered. Since Los Angeles is located on the desert ground, the humidity is extremely low. Drink lots of water! Several times a year to blow hot, dry Santa Ana winds, a kind of hair dryer, make for a great view of the mountains.

There is a very intense movie called "Crash" (directed by Paul Haggis) that takes place in Los Angeles.
Also, before you visit LA you have to go and see "Swingers", directed by Doug Liman. - It doesn't get any more LA than that.
Another good watch would be "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" by Shane Black.
