Live Webcams in Simi Valley

Simi Valley is the city of the valley of the same name in southeastern Ventura County, California, and the live webcams in Simi Valley look into the quieter edge of Greater Los Angeles: a valley ringed by the chaparral of the Santa Susana Mountains and the Simi Hills, neighbourhoods spread across its floor, and the Reagan Presidential Library on its hilltop above them. Simi Valley keeps Pacific Time, UTC−8, UTC−7 in summer, so sunrise here falls in a European afternoon, and the late-afternoon light over the hills is the best of the day. Some 126,000 people live in the city, 37 miles, about 60 kilometres, northwest of downtown Los Angeles; it grew as a commuter town once a freeway crossed the Santa Susana Pass. Spring, from March to May, is the green season before the long dry summer turns the hills to gold.
