Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, talking about the weather is a common ice‑breaker. ‘Despejado’ is used mainly for the sky (e.g., ‘el cielo está despejado’) but can also describe a room or a situation that is free of obstacles. Remember that ‘despejado’ is a temporary condition, so it pairs with ‘estar’, not ‘ser’. In some regions, people also say ‘sin nubes’ (without clouds) to convey the same idea.
