No one is complaining but winter weather in Los Angeles can make apartment living a struggle to stay warm. Here are some cold weather tips and tricks to stay warm and cozy in your Aperto Property Management Apartment.

Cooler, Wet, Wind and Mist

The title of this section is not the name of a 60’s folk music band. It is a great description of LA weather in winter. The average temperature hovers between 50 and 60 and it rains a lot.

Occasionally, el Nino wreaks havoc and can make things stormy and foggy. While the Tournament of Roses parade seems to get good weather, the rest of winter defines cloudy, cooler and wet, which means winterizing your apartment is very important if you want to keep it warm.

Warm Up the Digs Quickly and Easily

Weatherize: Make sure every door and window seam is tight. Inspect your apartment for drafts and when you locate its source, plug it up.

Humidifier: It sounds counterintuitive, but humid air makes the ambient air feel warmer. By placing one or two strategically, you can cover your entire place. Add some plants in there to help retain the humidity.

A humidifier will also help you avoid chafed lips and skin.

Cook Meals: Your stove and oven are massive heat producers. A single meal can heat up your apartment for hours. If you cook regularly, not only will your apartment be warm but you may even save money on the heating bill.
