• Structure: 高曇り is read as たかぐもり and means an overcast sky formed by high clouds.
• Basic usage: It can describe mountain outlines seen softly under high cloud or a cloudy shooting day on which no rain fell.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• With the appearance of mountains
  • 高曇りの日 identifies a high-overcast day and is linked here to how the mountain outlines appeared. Example: 高曇りの日は山の輪郭が柔らかく見えた。
• Distinct from rainfall
  • 高曇りだったが、雨は降らなかった shows that a high overcast does not itself mean that rain fell. Example: 撮影の日は高曇りだったが、雨は降らなかった。
