Where is the California sunshine on this #footpathfriday? You may be wondering why it is so gray in sunny Southern California on a Friday in May.

The sun is playing hide and seek on this typical "May Gray" day in Southern California. "May Gray" is a seasonal weather pattern where the cool, moist marine layer from the Pacific Ocean rolls into Southern California almost daily, creating cool, cloudy, grey mornings that usually give way to sunny afternoons. This weather phenomenon continues in June, when we call it "June Gloom."

What causes "May Gray" and "June Gloom"?

Flowering Desert Pepperweed (also Desert Alysum; Lepidium fremontii) and Desert Fir (also Schott's Pygmy Cedar; Peucephyllum schottii... and it is neither a fir nor a cedar of course 🤪 but rather, in the sunflower family, Asteraceae!) with some Arrowweed, growing out of the cracks and crevices in a rock at Joshua Tree National Park. For #FlowerFriday and such!
