#111: Gloom or Glisten? It’s both... If you listen. The plants are loving these extra cloudy skies, even if some of us are missing that LA sun. And here's the question: is this SAD-inducing set of storms even that unusual for June, or is this the normal we've forgotten during these last years of drought? 

We've got LAist science reporter, Jacob Margolis, to explain all that and more. And for more info, check out his article unpacking June Gloom. Or if you're really in the mood to bundle up in your raincoat, he's got an article on this year's predicted El Niño, too.

How to L.A. aims to drop a little knowledge about ALL the things that affect the people of Los Angeles, whether that’s something that makes our city great (tacos!) or something that we need to work on, like the alarming number of traffic collisions. We serve the curious Angeleno who wants to better connect with our city, discover the new, navigate the confusing and even drive some change along the way.
