Last year’s “May gray” weather was preceded by an April so cloudy the National Weather Service took to calling it “Gray-pril.”
Looks like it’s happening again.
It’s been cloudy much of this month, a pattern that will only grow worse this week. The marine layer will thicken day by day, reaching a depth of 5,500 feet on Thursday, say forecasters. That’s twice as deep as it was on Monday in San Diego.
Most of the county’s coastal areas will see little, if any, sunshine until late afternoon. Conditions will be only marginally better across inland foothills and valleys. Fleeting showers could appear late Wednesday into Thursday.
The clouds will tamp down temperatures. San Diego’s daytime high is expected to be 66 Tuesday and Wednesday and 65 on Thursday and Friday. The seasonal high is 69. A minor warming trend will begin on Saturday. But the daytime high still won’t rise past 66.
So far, the average monthly temperature in San Diego is 60.2 degrees, which is 2.4 degrees below average.
