How are the temps/crowds in late August?

We may have the opportunity to be in LA at the end of August - and I was wondering if someone could tell me what the crowds would be like in the parks (weekdays) and what the temps are like. Thanks!

After the last weekend of August the weekday crowds are a bit lighter. We were there at that time last year. It can be hot, but it is hot everywhere in August so it really isn't any worse in California; I think that is one of the better places to be for weather in August.
