9 o'clock Marine Layer
Noon Sunshine
***
If you know about coastal weather patterns, you are familiar with marine layer. Some may think it is fog as most Midwesterners experience. It is almost a fine mist.
***
A marine layer is a mass of air which forms over a large body of water such as an ocean or lake in the presence of a temperature inversion. Being within a "short" distance of the ocean, marine layers are a common occurrence. At this time of the year the sun will burn off the marine layer before noon or earlier.

Our coastal weather experiences what is dubbed June Gloom when the marine layer is present much of the time blocking the sunlight for most of the days of the month.
