grey skies
Dull, sunless atmosphere
Grey skies are overcast conditions—clouds blocking the sun and casting everything in muted light.
The phrase carries emotional weight beyond weather reporting, suggesting gloom, melancholy, or difficult times ahead: Grey skies have been hanging over the city all week.
Often appears in song lyrics and poetry as shorthand for sadness or depression.
