They call it June Gloom. It may only be May, but it is here. May to stay long. But we have sen the shift. Things started out brilliant this week, with the coastal fog being brief, patchy and intermittent. Now if fills in each evening a few hours after night fall, and is sticking around through late morning. Okay, maybe I exaggerate. That is not quick text book June Gloom, but it is close enough after such a fantastic winter. The real gloom is when the sun comes out from 2:30 to 3:30, and the fog wraps up the other 23 hours of the day. That is what kills our tomatoes. This is still fine growing weather, especially for seedlings and heat sensitive plants. But about the weather this week...
Sixties. Low sixties this afternoon once the sun comes out. Fog in the mornings. Burning off around 9 or 10 on the Westside. A little earlier downtown and a little later on Pleasure Point and points southeast. Warming up a bit for the weekend and early next week. Still foggy periods, but looking at about mid to high 60s. No big changes along the way. Winds will be typical of this pattern, with an onshore flow, strongest when the fog pulls out, and through the middle of the afternoon. Surf is looking moderate, with a little NW action happening right now and small S swells continuing. More south swell arrives on Monday. Could get fun out there.
