bewölkt
Bewölkt is a German adjective used to describe the sky or weather conditions. It literally translates to "cloudy" in English. When a sky is described as bewölkt, it means that clouds are present, obscuring the sun or blue sky. The density and type of clouds can vary, but the general term indicates a lack of clear skies. This can range from scattered clouds to an overcast sky where the sun is completely hidden. The term is commonly used in everyday conversation and in weather forecasts to give a general impression of the atmospheric conditions. It implies a reduction in direct sunlight and potentially a cooler or more subdued atmosphere compared to a clear or sunny day. The presence of clouds can also be a precursor to precipitation, although bewölkt itself does not necessarily mean rain or snow is falling. It simply describes the visual state of the sky being covered by clouds.
