According to the National Weather
Service, the LA region actually has a fairly temperate climate. If you
look at the data collected at http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/lox/climate/cvc.php,
you will see that their temperature exteremes from 1921 - 2004 range between 40
degrees and 90 degrees.
I live in an area very close in
latitude to LA, but on the opposite coast. While we do have more extremes
of temperature on occasion, I can tell you from experience that if it gets
in the 90s in the summers where you live, you will think you're dying of cold
when the winter temps drop to 40. We have very mild (comparatively)
winters here, temps in the 30s and 40s. Once every few years we get a
couple inches of snow, and the whole town grinds to a halt. People from up
north and from Canada come down and go swimming, and we stand on the pier in
winter coats and hats and gloves and talk about them having lost their
minds.
Also, with them being on the edge
of the desert, I expect the temps at night drop quite a bit. So that would
definitely explain coats during patrols.

[Giles] said [to Dawn]. "What has Buffy done that is so out of the ordinary?" "Well, when she came down to give the big, daily motivational, 'we're all
going to die' speech, she didn't. She said stuff that really was motivating
about all the stuff we're fighting for, like puppies and apple pie and a world
with no Celine Dion music in it, which, I could totally get behind, but it's not
like her. Then she told us all we have to take opportunities...like the one she
said she took last night to ask you on a date which she said she's wanted to do
for years. Creepy, huh?"
