   June in San Diego brings what is often called, "June Gloom." This is a Southern California phrase used to describe a weather pattern that results in cloudy, overcast skies with cool temperatures during the late spring and early summer. Low-altitude stratus clouds form over the cool water of the California Current, and spread overnight into the coastal regions of Southern California. As often as it is cloudy, it can be sunny this time of year as we welcome the summer months to this region!
