In early September 2004, temperatures of 92 °F to 98 °F (33 °C to 37 °C) were recorded.

In early November, it is about 68 °F (20 °C). In late January, temperatures are around 63 °F (17 °C). It is winter, however, when the hot, dry winds of the Santa Anas are most common. In mid-December 2004, temperatures soared to 84 °F (28 °C) in Santa Monica, for a few straight days, with perfectly sunny skies. The Santa Ana winds in Southern California sweep down wide across the deserts and across the Los Angeles Basin pushing dust and smoke from wildfires far out into the Pacific Ocean. ...

The rainy season is from late October through late March. Winter storms usually approach from the north-west and pass quickly through the Southland. There is very little rain during the rest of the year.

Santa Monica usually enjoys a cool breeze blowing in from the ocean, keeping the air fresh and clean. Therefore, smog is less a problem for Santa Monica than elsewhere around Los Angeles. However, in the autumn months of September through November, the Santa Ana winds will sometimes blow from the east, bringing smoggy inland air to the beaches.

Environment

The city is well known as one of the leading sustainable cities in all of the US. Three of every four of the city’s public works vehicles run on alternative fuel, making it among the largest such fleets in the country. All public buildings use renewable energy. In the last 15 years, the city has cut greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 10 per cent, a feat in car-crazy Southern California. City officials and residents have made the ongoing cleanup of the Santa Monica Bay a priority – an urban runoff facility catches 3.5 million gallons of water each week that would otherwise flow into the bay. Add in the miles of beaches, extensive curbside recycling, farmer’s markets, community gardens, the city’s nimble bus system and Santa Monica is clearly more than just another bathing beauty. http://www.citymayors.com/environment/us_greencities.html, http://www.smgov.net/epd/

Gang activity

While gentrification has transformed the city, some areas of Santa Monica have serious crime problems. The city estimates that there are fewer than 50 gang members in Santa Monica, although community organizers, such as Oscar De La Torre dispute this claim.[4] Gang activity has been prevalent for decades in the Pico neighborhood, particularly the portion of the area running roughly from 14th Street to just east of Cloverfield, and between Pico Boulevard and Colorado Ave. This war has sporadically spilled into the halls of Santa Monica High School and impacts daily life for students at Olympic High School (at the corner of Ocean Park Blvd and 7th Street). These various feuds have claimed dozens of lives over more than two decades. While there are gangs in the Pico neighborhood: Graveyard gangsta crip trays, and the Santa Monica 17th St, and Santa Monica 13 Latino gangs, the grave yard gangster crips and santa monica 17 have been rivals for years.[5] Pico Boulevard is a major Los Angeles street that runs from Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica to South Central Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. ...

Culver/Pico feud

One of the most violent feuds was between Latino Santa Monica gangs and the rival Culver City 13 gang. In 1998, five shooting deaths occurred in a two week period between these two gangs. The Culver City Boyz, is a Latino street gang located in the Mar Vista/Culver City border, their main territory being around the Mar Vista Gardens Housing Projects. ...

In October of 1998, alleged Culver City 13 gang member Omar Sevilla, 22, of Culver City was killed.[6]

A couple of hours after the shooting of Sevilla, German tourist Horst Fietze[7] was killed by a Culver City gang member.

Several days later Juan Martin Campos, age 28, a Santa Monica City employee and former gang member was shot and killed. Police believe this was a retaliatory killing in response to the death of Omar Sevilla. [8]

Less than twenty-four hours later, Javier Cruz was wounded outside his home on 17th and Michigan, a violence riddled pocket of the Pico area.[9]

One of the most eye opening events was the double homicide in the Westside Clothing store on Lincoln Boulevard. During the incident, Culver City gang members David "Puppet" Robles and Jesse "Psycho" Garcia entered the store masked and began opening fire, killing Anthony and Michael Juarez. [10] They then ran outside to a getaway vehicle driven by a third Culver City gang member, who is now also in custody.[11] The clothing store was believed to be a local hang out for Santa Monica gang members. The dead included two men from Northern California who had merely been visiting the store's owner, their cousin, to see if they could open a similar store in their area. Police say the incident was in retaliation for a shooting committed by the Santa Monica 13 gang days before the Juarez brothers were gunned down. [12]

Aside from the rivalry with the Culver City gang, Black and Latino Pico gang members also feud with the Venice and West Los Angeles gangs. The main rivals in these regions include Venice 13, and Venice Shoreline Crips gangs located in the Oakwood area of Venice, CA. The Sotel 13 gang located in West Los Angeles has long been the main rival of Santa Monica's Latino gangs.
