Every cloud has a silver lining, the saying goes. And it's true. In Southern California, where I live, we have a weather condition in June called June Gloom. It's called that because clouds fill the sky for the first half of the day, and the sun may not burn through until mid-afternoon. The word gloom gives you the idea that this is an altogether bad thing. Actually, many people like it, especially those of us who live in cities that can reach scorching 100-plus degrees in the summer. Those dark clouds help to keep us cool and comfortable. June gloom? Bring it on!
