Cloudiest

/ˈklaʊdiɪst/ adjective

Definition

Superlative form of 'cloudy'; the most covered with clouds or the most overcast and opaque.

Etymology

From 'cloudy' plus the superlative suffix '-est' (from Old English), forming the highest degree of the adjective.

Kelly Says

The cloudiest days often feel darker than night because stratocumulus clouds are thicker and more reflective than rain clouds—they trap light above them instead of letting it through!
