Clearing up

Q: What does "Clearing up" mean?

Weather improving, clouds moving away This hopeful observation signals that bad weather is passing—clouds are breaking, rain is stopping, and better conditions are on the way. It's almost always delivered with relief or anticipation, often while peering hopefully at the sky. British weather's changeability makes 'clearing up' a phrase of genuine promise: unlike places with stable weather systems, rain in Britain often does pass relatively quickly.

This hopeful observation signals that bad weather is passing—clouds are breaking, rain is stopping, and better conditions are on the way. It's almost always delivered with relief or anticipation, often while peering hopefully at the sky. British weather's changeability makes 'clearing up' a phrase of genuine promise: unlike places with stable weather systems, rain in Britain often does pass relatively quickly.

这个充满希望的观察表明坏天气正在过去——云层正在裂开，雨正在停止，更好的天气即将到来。几乎总是带着如释重负或期待的心情说出，通常是在满怀希望地望向天空时。英国天气的多变使'clearing up'成为一个真正有希望的短语：不像天气系统稳定的地方，英国的雨往往确实会相对较快地过去。

Esta observación esperanzadora señala que el mal tiempo está pasando: las nubes se están abriendo, la lluvia está parando y mejores condiciones están en camino. Casi siempre se dice con alivio o anticipación, a menudo mientras se mira esperanzadamente al cielo. La variabilidad del tiempo británico hace de 'clearing up' una frase de genuina promesa: a diferencia de lugares con sistemas meteorológicos estables, la lluvia en Gran Bretaña a menudo pasa relativamente rápido.

この希望に満ちた観察は、悪天候が過ぎ去りつつあることを示す。雲が切れ、雨が止み、より良い状況が近づいている。ほぼ常に安堵や期待と共に、空を希望を持って見上げながら言われる。イギリスの天気の変わりやすさは「clearing up」を本当の約束のフレーズにしている：安定した気象システムを持つ場所と違い、イギリスの雨は比較的早く過ぎることが多い。

이 희망적인 표현은 나쁜 날씨가 지나가고 있다는 신호입니다—구름이 갈라지고, 비가 멈추고, 더 나은 날씨가 오고 있습니다. 거의 항상 안도감이나 기대감과 함께, 하늘을 희망적으로 올려다보며 전해집니다. 영국 날씨의 변덕스러움 덕분에 'clearing up'은 진정한 희망의 표현입니다: 안정적인 기상 체계를 가진 곳과 달리, 영국에서 비는 종종 비교적 빨리 지나가기 때문입니다.
