I’m interested to know what exactly is the difference between these two statements:
今日は曇りです。
今日は曇っています。
(Trying to say it’s cloudy today.)
Any help will be appreciated! よろしくお願いします！
曇り Translated is “cloudy weather”
曇っている translated is “It is cloudy”
So they are pretty much the same.
I think the meaning is effectively the same.
曇り is a noun meaning cloudy weather.
曇っています is progressive tense for 曇る meaning something (today) is currently in the state of being cloudy.
