Marine layer
Significado: A blanket of low clouds and fog that rolls in from the Pacific Ocean, covering coastal California.
The marine layer is a meteorological term that has become casual vocabulary for every coastal Californian. It's the reason SF is foggy, why LA beaches can be overcast while the Valley broils, and why you always bring a jacket to the coast. Californians talk about the marine layer like it's a houseguest — 'the marine layer is really thick today.'
