What ☁️ means
The tone depends on context. In weather talk it just means overcast skies. In captions and bios it gives a soft, calm, dreamy aesthetic, often with 🤍 or ✨. It can also describe being lost in thought or having your head in the clouds, and sometimes a low, gray mood. It is milder than 🌧️ or ⛈️, which signal rain and storms. At work it often refers to cloud storage or cloud computing. During monsoon season in India, people often pair it with rain emojis.
