New York City - June Gloom?
A friend in LA keeps telling me about the "June Gloom" that they are currently experiencing. Today was another nasty, rainy, day in NY so I thought it might be one of these so-called "June Gloom" days. I asked my Grandmother if she ever heard of "June Gloom." She is 89 years old (pushing 90) so I thought for sure she would have.
She didn't. So, I went to Wikipedia to find out exactly what this "June Gloom" is.
Apparently, it is basically condensation above the water on the coast also known as the "marine layer." The "marine layer" turns into "clouds" and the condensation that form the clouds is eventually evaporated by the sun - in other words "burns off."
A lot of people use terms but don't really know exactly what they mean. Now that I know I will feel free to use these terms going forward.
June Gloom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
June Gloom (also May Gray) is a California term for a weather pattern that results in overcast skies with mild temperatures during the late spring and early summer. The condition is prevalent in many parts of the world where marine stratus or stratocumulus clouds are common, particularly off the western coasts of continents—especially off Peru, Namibia, Western Australia, and California. Such cloud systems are persistent year-round off the coast, yet in certain seasons they blow ashore and create the gloomy "May Gray" effect on land. The June Gloom phenomenon has also been known to occur during the early fall in California.
Early mornings during this period are typically foggy, with an occasional drizzle. The fog turns to low clouds by late morning and early afternoon. Finally, by late afternoon, solar heating is sufficient to evaporate the clouds. Often the overcast will be evaporated ("burned off") quickly inland, but will linger along the immediate coast.
In California, the number of days from May to June that are gloomy vary from year to year. Cooler ocean temperatures, associated with La Niña, usually foretell a more gray period.
June Gloom has been reported by some Californians to bring on symptoms consistent with seasonal affective disorder. It is often cited as a time of depression.
So even though NYC is not technically experiencing June gloom we are apparently experiencing a bit of "April showers bring May flowers" a month late!
Whatever you call it - it sucks!!! And it's very depressing.

The song "Crazy Moon" by "Winter Moods" in this Fan-Made Trailer really got me hooked:
LYRICS
"Crazy Moon" by Winter Moods
There`s a crazy moon today
Run away, run away
Happy world`s adopted son
Come undone, but it’s alright
Times you feel so alone, sitting here
Blindly in a hall, so small
Turn the page and walk away
Walk away, walk away
Find the strength to carry on
Carry on, you`ll be all right
Try to figure out what’s wrong
Finding somewhere to belong
When all your senses reel
I want you to know
I still believe
I can achieve
What seems so hard and looks so bold
So I can feel
What life can deal
I`ll let the music take me home
There`s a crazy moon today
Run away, run away
What you have is what you`ve done
And what will be would be your ride
Cos I believe that everything
Revolves around the remedy of love
That’s what I believe in
I surrender to the song
And everything will tag along
That’s how I really feel
