Weather Woes

Weather Woes

The weather has been erratic lately. Spring should have come forward with its shiny and warm façade. The sunrise should have been toiling on every weekend, bringing the glorious role of outdoor activities. All the should-have-been’s seems to be just rhetoric. The sun-seeking behavior of Californians appears to have been dashed because of the June Gloom. According to Meteora.edu, the coastal clouds may remain all day but often give way to some hazy afternoon sunshine. The number of days during this two month period that are gloomy vary from year to year.

Into this writer’s surprise, the June Gloom may have been a blessing. The haze of the California sun needs to have its break. A lot of introspection during this rare phenomenon may occur. Moreover, the cold weather seems to be the anti-thesis against the marketing/corporate agenda that spring should be spent outdoors, or out of the country even. One may also find that the weather is associating itself with the bleak economic forecast as of press time. In this regard, a lot of things maybe under the weather, slowly breaking away from the rigid routines of spring and being gloomy as to its entitlement.

Some people may have emotions germane to loneliness and solitude once May Gray/June Gloom occurs. This can be a viable scenario. Once the weather promotes inactivity and introspection, such type of emotions maybe revived like a very earnest and courageous survivor. Like all other seasons, the weather as of press time needs to runs its own natural course. The same would apply with the gloomy emotions attributed to it. It would seem that time would be the only ally, to let the gloominess pass by, and let the sun lighten up someone’s weary soul.
