We are having some of the worst June gloom that I have seen in a few years. Temperatures are well below normal.

And the forecast is for more and more of the same....this is the worst I remember in some time. This morning it was actually partially sunny but now it is overcast again in inland OC. Jeeze.....I want to go to Hawaii.

I just flew into LAX today---luckily, I looked at a forecast before I came.

We usually don't get much of the June Gloom in Murrieta. However, this year we are not only getting it but it is not clearing until very late in the afternoon if at all. In late April and May, I was able to use my swimming pool but can't now until we get some sun.

Even the weather in the desert stinks. Cool, Windy, not swimming weather at all. I did have to laugh though...was at LAX on Tuesday, my poor little desert kids, Um Mom-is that fog? They have no idea. It's usually blue skies, clear, and hot here...but not right now

We just got back from a week at Welk Escondido, and I expected a little gloom, but didn't expect that we'd actually see highs not reach 70 and be too cool to enjoy the pool sometimes! Oh well, still an awesome week anyway.

It's been sunny and clear for two days now......

Not here in Murrieta. It is still more of the same. The sun tries to come out and then goes away.

Early May is usually pretty nice. The June gloom ended several days ago and now it has turned pretty hot. You can have beautiful weather at any time of the year. It is just that the period from November - April and late May through June is pretty iffy. For us that live here, the beauty of it is that during those periods even if we have bad weather, we know that there will be plenty of nice days. For visitors, it is the luck of the draw.

I live on the Atlantic coast in North Florida and like the gloom on the central Ca coast in August. We have gone there the last two years(Pismo Beach area) and enjoy the dramatic change in climate from Fl. It is like going from summer to winter for us. Sometimes the fog gets too gloomy and we head inland just to get warm.
