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"?

Welcome to the western half of San Francisco, which tonight features weather which can only be described as pea soup.

Even the houses directly across the street are indistinct, clothed as they are in a heavy blanket of fog.
