Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking cultures, commenting on the sky is a common way to start a conversation about the weather. 'Despejado' sounds a bit more formal than the everyday 'sin nubes' or 'claro', and it’s used with 'estar' because a clear sky is a temporary condition. In some regions, especially in Mexico, people also say 'el cielo está claro' to convey the same idea.
