Rey, we are often cloudy and foggy in the spring. The warm inland desert air hits the cool ocean air and gives us a "marine layer" that is fairly constant. We call it "May grey" and "June gloom" .But when the inland temperatures hit 100 degrees, and we're a lovely cool 67, we don't complain a lot! However, later in the summer and fall we have hot, clear, dry days and hot desert winds that can shrivel up a maple's leaves in hours. The humidity can go down in the single digits, and people are irritable and uneasy. When that happens, the tender leaved trees will visit the greenhouse to keep their foliage alive.

I'll take a sunny picture eventually, just for you!
