[CINC] June Gloom

[Lisa Anderson]

I have found over the past month that most visitors to California really
haven't done their homework when it comes to our weather. Most people just
assume we have sunshine 365 days a year. Having lived here in Ventura County
for almost 50 years, I always remember my summer not really starting until
long after Independence Day. For those of you somewhat new to our part of
the world, we typically have June Gloom from mid May til the end of July.
Most "natives" don't mind, because we all know how hot it gets come August
thru October and sometimes longer-not to mention Santa Ana's and fires. Once
I explain why we have the gloom (water warming etc) , most people understand
and then they don't get too upset-plus at that point they figure out they
haven't done much research-plus I remind them we need this moisture for as
long as possible (fires). Thought maybe this information might help.  :0)
