June Gloom
A common local expression, "June Gloom", refers to a spell of fog and stratus ("overcast") that does not clear all the way back to the coast for several days. These extended periods of cloudiness are usually a consequence of a weak area of low pressure above the marine layer which increases its depth, making it more difficult for surface heating to break it up. In actuality, these extended spells of low cloudiness can occur at any time, not just June.
