Why is blue sky getting rare there?

We typically have "May Gray" and "June Gloom" here in San Diego (especially along the coast..not so much inland where I live, except in the early mornings). Although, we had 2 days of no sun last Sunday (April 30th) and Monday (May 1st)...and only saw the sun for a couple of hours on Tuesday (May 2nd). However, from Wednesday on...no May Gray. It's suppose to be very sunny and warm to hot this whole week. YAY! :>)

We need some of your rain here in San Diego, as we're back into a drought, again!

The rain is good for the plants. How cold is it?
