Cloud with Lightning and Rain Emoji
What does the Cloud with Lightning and Rain emoji mean?
A dark cloud with a lightning bolt at its center and falling raindrops — an icon representing thundershowers.
This emoji shows a thundercloud streaked with raindrops and lightning. It can signal rainy weather, a heavy downpour, a thunderstorm, or simply someone’s gloomy mood.
As with any emoji, the meaning depends on the context. Taken literally, use it to describe the weather outside. Used figuratively, it’s often about the mood — for example when you’re upset or having a rough day.
