Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene, and every kind of weather

E’ segni in cielo, al dolce tempo avversi,
fará dolci e benigni il novo sole:
e la dura stagion frigida e tarda
non si conoscerá, s’ella si guarda.

c. 1477, Lorenzo de' Medici, Rime, collected in Opere, page 258:

And the new sun will make the signs in the sky, hostile to the sweet weather, sweet and benign; and the hard, cold, late season will not recognize itself, were she to look at itself

quando fusse tempo asciutto, e senza pioggia, tolgasi di quella delle cisterne ben tenute, che conservino l’acqua pura, e senza alcuna qualità estranea

After that time, open it [the dovecote] for them, with either cloudy or fair weather; although rainy weather is better, because that's when they go out, to return inside, without making long flights right away

Il tempo era chiuso, l’aria pesante, il cielo velato per tutto da una nuvola o da un nebbione uguale, inerte, che pareva negare il sole, senza prometter la pioggia

1840, Alessandro Manzoni, “Capitolo ⅩⅩⅩⅣ [Chapter 34]”, in I promessi sposi^(https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Indice:I_promessi_sposi_(1840).djvu), Tip. Guglielmini e Redaelli, page 650:

The weather was suffocating, the air was oppressive, the sky completely covered by a neverending cloud, or fog, that seemed to deny the sun without promising rain

A cagione del tempo piovigginoso, la strada era diventata tutta un pantano e ci si andava fino a mezza gamba.
