Why use “ist” in one but not the other?

“Regnen” in German is a verb, while “bewölkt” is an adjective. Since you need a verb to make a complete sentence, you add “ist”

  Ahhh, thanks. That’s confusing, since in English they both have “is”. It is raining. It is cloudy.

RULES

Make sure anything you plan on asking has not already been answered.
No harassing someone over their level of the language of German. Everyone starts somewhere.
No harassing period actually. Obviously no bigotry falls under this category.
In general, no low effort posts or spam. If you ask a question and it didn’t receive much engagement, don’t go on to ask it again immediately, at the least remove the original copy.
No NSFW. This rule has its loose limits and some exceptions (i.e. commenting on German “dirty talk” and whatnot is alright).
Mods are the interpreters of these rules, and have jurisdiction over other cases where a rule isn’t explicitly mentioned here, but it is a common sense rule.
This community is largely for English speakers learning/discussing German. Other languages aren’t outright banned yet, but expect minimal support. If other communities arise for German help in other languages, then those languages will be barred from this community in favor of the new one.

Visibility: Public

This community can be federated to other instances and be posted/commented in by their users.
