Whether you love or hate them, there's a lot to understand about these stratiform clouds that are so commonly found on the California coast, hiding the sunshineSan Diegans know a cloudy day at the coast all too well, especially during the spring and summer months."Gray-pril,""May Gray,""June Gloom,""No Sky July" and"Fog-ust" are common phrases to describe the late spring and summer weather patterns.
"The setup that we have that relates to these low-level clouds relates to the fact that we have low-level subsidence in the subtropics, so air rises at the equator," Clemesha said."And then it sinks in the subtropics, so that’s the biggest circulation on the globe, and that’s what helps promote that warm air above our moist marine air.”The rest, in part, has to do with the cool moist air above the ocean and the warm air that sits just above that, Clemesha says.
For example, Clemesha shared on Wednesday that the temperature inversion at San Diego's coast was 8 degrees Celsius.
