June Gloom - 2011 (Los Angeles, Oxnard, Ross: moving, area, build)

[LuckyGem]

I wish it would rain already instead of teasing me all morning with the overcast ominous grey hazy rainstorm-like clouds.

Not much sunshine this month.

I hope July doesn't look like this.

I suffer from SAD so this June Gloom is making me really miserable. I guess I should enjoy it as it does reminds me of home, being back in London with a cup of tea watching Eastenders.

Looks like things should clear up at the beginning of next week.

This is a rather pervasive June gloom that is extending many miles inland. Usually the June Gloom would only go about a 1 mile inland

You'll never get rain from June Gloom. It's not a synopotic scale system, it's not related to a midlatitude cyclone (or any sort of storm system). It's due to the cold water of the Pacific cooling the air above, condensing the moisture. The cooling is exacerbated by an inversion layer caused by downward moving air due to a high pressure ridge. It's literally like a squeegee. But not a good enough one to make raindrops (other than perhaps "coastal drizzle") but enough to create a few hundred feet of stratus.

Somebody has done their research!

The sun peeks a toe-ray of sunlight out of the clouds and into the pacific just in time for sunset.

I hope tomorrow is brighter with more hours of sunshine.

National Weather Service - NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION CAUSING STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AND A DEEP MARINE LAYER TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH CONTINUED COOL TEMPERATURES. A GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL OCCUR AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT WARMING BY MID WEEK.

I, for one, still think "June Gloom" is preferable to the usual SF Valley weather in the summer - HOT.

I love this kind of weather because the alternative in the summer is HOT. But I agree with the OP that if the season is gonna give us clouds, give us some rain.
