May Gray/June Gloom

Written by Jim the Realtor

April 22, 2012

The “marine layer” seems to be underway, where the overcast struggles to burn off every day.

Kevin Collins captured it well with this photo, from San Clemente looking south, taken 6/12/08:

Our beach area is socked in with fog/overcast from late spring to early summer.  If you are thinking of selling a view home, this is not the time to do it.  If you must, lay out view photos from a clear day to help buyers visualize the impact.

If you are buying and cringe at the thought of not seeing the sun for a couple of months (at least), then you may want to move 2-3 miles inland.

    Good point. Goes back to what Jim said a few weeks ago about pools on the coast–pure decorative pieces but for 3 months out of the year. In the meantime, folks along the 15 corridor are already having pool parties this past week.

    I grew up at the beach and BOY do I NOT miss the marine layer!! There are actually a few things I don’t miss about it, but that’s another story. 🙂 I’ve been extremely happy in my Mira Mesa home for the last nearly-four years. (Wow, it’s been that long already?)

    But with that said, even Mira Mesa is socked in this morning as well. 🙁

    Already making plans to escape the heat here, in the 100’s last 3 days running. Can’t wait, bring on the gloom.

    If you don’t mind cooler weather, March and early April is usually fine too.
