It's literally about "California Dreaming." John Philips was from NY (where the skies are grey in the winter) and when he'd gone to California, he met Michelle (who he married eventually). At the time he wrote this, he was missing California. This isn't the only song he's written about California. "12:30 Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon" is another one.
