June gloom

California's gray May-June

June gloom is a weather pattern along the Southern California coast, where marine fog and low clouds blanket mornings through late spring and early summer.

The overcast typically burns off by afternoon but can persist all day.

The term captures both the meteorological phenomenon and the mild disappointment of gray skies when sunshine is expected: We're stuck in June gloom again.
