The call it May Gray (and then later June Gloom). It is a typical marine layer that hugs the coastline in late spring/early summer in southern California. The clouds usually "burn off" by noon and return in the evening. I found a nice spot on a bridge near the Santa Monica pier. The 10 fwy passes under and the historic Sears building stands nearby. The high school I teach at partially burned in the Palisades Fire. The Sears building has become our temporary school site. The sidewalk on the bridge is narrow. A number of students and teachers squeezed by as I was doing the recording. Only one teacher paused to ask me what I was doing.
