About the cloud symbol
The cloud symbol represents overcast or cloudy weather, often used in forecasts and atmospheric diagrams. As an emoji, it appears in messaging and social media to signify a gloomy day, a state of thoughtfulness, or a reference to cloud computing. In its basic form, it is a pictographic depiction of a cumulus cloud, recognized across digital platforms as a standalone weather icon.
