Definition:
Overcast skies soften daylight until it feels filtered and cool. Shadows fade, and colors flatten into quieter tones. The mood of an overcast day can feel calm, heavy, or expectant, depending on the air and wind. It often suggests weather holding back, as though rain is considering its options. The word captures a sky that closes in without fully turning dark.
