| Why Has It Been Gloomy In Los Angeles |
What in the World is Going On?
So, what’s the deal with this gloomy takeover? Well, it seems Mother Nature has decided to play a cruel joke on us. The culprit? A pesky little thing called the marine layer. It’s basically a thick, stubborn fog that rolls in from the ocean and refuses to leave. Imagine it as a giant, moody teenager who's decided to camp out over LA.
May Gray, June Gloom, and Now July... Gloom?
Traditionally, we've had May Gray and June Gloom. But this year, it’s like the marine layer got a VIP pass to stay for the summer. And honestly, at this point, we're starting to think it's got a lease.

The Impact on LA Life
This constant overcast has had a ripple effect on our beloved city. The outdoor yoga enthusiasts are now practicing in dimly lit living rooms, surfers are complaining about cold water (a first!), and the sunglasses industry is probably having a meltdown. Not to mention the existential crisis everyone is having about whether or not they made the right decision moving to a place that’s supposed to be sunny.
How to Survive the LA Gloom
- Embrace your inner vampire: Invest in blackout curtains, stock up on candles, and binge-watch all the dark, moody TV shows you can find.
- Vitamin D supplement: Because sunshine isn’t always an option.
- Find a hobby: Indoor gardening, anyone? Or maybe learn to knit a gloomy-day sweater.
- Plan your life around the weather app: Check it constantly, and be prepared to cancel outdoor plans at a moment's notice.
- Start a support group: For fellow gloom-stricken Angelenos. You're not alone!
