Sun Behind Large Cloud 🌥
Copy & Meaning

A sun hidden behind a large cloud — representing mostly cloudy skies where the sun is present but largely obscured, conditions that feel predominantly overcast with occasional glimpses of sunshine. This emoji pairs with the small-cloud version to create a spectrum of cloud coverage from barely-there to nearly-covering.

Used for weather reporting of predominantly cloudy conditions, expressions of situations where something positive exists but is mostly hidden or obscured, and the specific quality of days that feel grey but not entirely without light.
