June Gloom

Like clockwork, every June L.A. experiences what is commonly referred to as "June Gloom". Something about the way the area is situated on the coast and a weather pattern that hits specifically at this time of year gives us gray, gloomy mornings, every morning, and gray, gloomy nights every evening. The gloom burns off mid day, providing nice sunny weather for the bulk of the day, but it's funny - no one ever mentioned June Gloom before I moved here. Not that it would have mattered, but it's like this big secret that Californians keep from the rest of the country. Our June Gloom seems to have started last week, but it hasn't really interfered with anything. Maybe it will allow me to sleep in a bit this weekend.
