What ⛅ means

A partly cloudy sky: the sun peeks out from behind a gray cloud. It stands for a so-so day, neither bright nor gloomy, and sometimes for a mood that is mostly fine with a little doubt in it.

Shows up in weather check-ins, holiday updates and morning texts like "looks ⛅ today, bring a jacket." It reads calm and neutral, so it fits work chat as easily as a group text.
