California's Unusual Weather Patterns Bring Cooler Temperatures and Gusty Winds.

Coastal cities in California have been experiencing an unusually cold and gloomy spring and early summer due to a thick marine layer caused by very cold water along the coast. The marine layer has often extended well inland and to higher elevations, enshrouding mountain roads and communities. While the cool and cloudy weather is expected to continue in June, there are signs that a shift is on the horizon, with summer heat potentially arriving in July.
