June Gloom

The general assumption is that it's always sunny and 75 degrees in LA, and for the most part that has not proved to be entirely untrue. This week, however, I learned about a Southern California weather phenomenon known as June Gloom (or May Gray), when a cloud layer blows in from the ocean and effectively creates winter in spring. This entire week has been overcast and relatively chilly (for LA standards), although thankfully without drizzle. I suppose it's a fitting primer for my trip to London tonight.
