Well, I'm enjoying the cooler weather here outside Los Angeles. We will be having temperatures in the 60s at least through Tuesday with a high of only 60 on Tuesday. And we will be having lots of clouds. Oh yeah This is really something to cherish and I'll do my best.

Happy to have started another stretch of gloomy and wet weather. Recieved a little less than half an inch of rain this morning. Now just cloudy and in the low 60s. I don't think the sun has been out since Thursday.

Seeming as you are meant to get much more sun than us but keep saying how gloomy it's been, I'm curious how much sun you've had so far this year and how normal that is - we've had 552 hours so far, 473.5 of those coming since March 1st. The first two months were way below average, since then way above.

I have no idea. Sun data doesn't seem to be readily available here in the US for some reason. The annual average in my area is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 hours.

We often get streaks of gloomy weather, but I'd say this spring has been a bit cloudier than ususal. Others who live here in the northeast can attest to that. I would assume April was below average in sunshine. Not sure about this month since we had a streak of sunny days last week. But from the way it looks this current pattern won't break until next weekend.

The average to 15th May is about 518 hours, so this year isn't that much above average. The sunny April has made up for the dullest winter on record.

It finally staggered up to 10°C today, so unusual in winter of course that I let it all go and decided to celebrate with a nice bottle of something.

Unfortunately the very small population size doesn't match. I'm more of a 'lifestyle' bloke.
Very sad to leave Melbourne's cloudy and showery weather behind yesterday afternoon & even sadder once upon arriving into Sydney's horrible sunny, icy and strong cold westerly conditions.
I miss Melbourne's cloudiness & the weather there over the past week certainly has been reminiscent of the 1990s when it was regularly cold, cloudy and wet.

Looks like I escaped to Melbourne at the perfect time .
It was very cold, showery - with rain periods at times - and cloudy.
Left Sydney on Wednesday (albeit cloudy conditions) and arrived in Melbourne on it's coldest May day since 1970 with passing showers - heavy at times -and the maximum being just 12C.
Further heavy showery and cloudy conditions followed over next few days.
I'm not happy being back here in Sydney because of that horrible sunny and icy westerly wind glaring into my face. I feel homesick for Victoria, miss the cloudiness so much there and hate that the fat, ugly blocking high has, once again, come to murder us jeez! :-(

Very happy with this rainy, cool, overcast weather. Fifth day in a row with zero sunshine. Total rainfall for the past several days is somewhere between 1-2 inches. Looks to remain this way, though becoming warmer, for the rest of the week.
