Rain Sounds with a Live Los Angeles Clock
Steady rainfall over a city that almost never gets it — with the true Pacific time glowing through the wet glass.
Rain is an event in Los Angeles. The city gets maybe thirty wet days a year, so when drops actually hit the jacaranda leaves and the 101 hisses under tires, Angelenos open their windows instead of closing them. This station bottles that rare mood: a permanent rainy evening over the basin, palm fronds dripping, hillside lights smeared soft.
The soundbed is layered from openly-licensed field recordings — West Coast storm fronts, gutter runoff, distant low thunder — crossfaded so the texture never audibly loops. Behind it sits the station's real clock on Pacific Time, and the scene keeps honest hours: grey daylight, a bruised violet dusk, and rain-streaked black past midnight.
Use it to fall asleep in a city that is usually too dry and too bright, to write through an afternoon, or to give an LA apartment the weather it secretly wants. When the clock says 1 AM and the rain keeps going, the whole city feels like a parked car you never have to leave.
FAQ
What time is it in Los Angeles right now?
The clock on this page shows live Pacific Time, updating every second in your browser — the same clock the station broadcasts.
Does it really rain this much in LA?
Almost never — that's the charm. The station plays the roughly thirty rainy days LA gets each year on an endless loop, minus the traffic.
Is rain sound good for sleeping?
Steady broadband rain masks sudden noises that cause micro-awakenings, which is why many people fall asleep faster with it than with silence.
