clear sky
No clouds above
Clear sky describes an atmosphere free of clouds, haze, or obstruction—conditions offering maximum visibility and unimpeded sunlight.
In weather reports and forecasts, clear skies indicate fair conditions.
The phrase extends to figurative optimism: With the lawsuit settled, we have clear skies ahead.
Pilots and astronomers depend on clear skies for visibility.
