Maybe "nubilous" is the word you want.

See its use in this article where the author does some "nubilous musing" about clouds:

Very good to hear from you, Luciano! I also randomly dropped by on April 1. If you feel like it, could you drop me a line at the answer to this crappy clue:

I literally do tire Della with randomly lit mag dotcom (22, including punctuation marks)

Cheers!

"Nubious" is indeed an adjective related to clouds. It specifically
means cloudy, foggy, or misty.

Latin noun: litus, litoris (genitive)
Latin adjective: littoralis (alternative spelling: lītorālis)
English adjective: littoral (first recorded in 1650-60)
English noun: littoral (first recorded in the early 19th century)
Additional details:

The doubled "t" in "littoral" is a late medieval innovation.
Some sources still use the spelling "litoral," considered more classical.

____________________________________

The meaning of "Nuvoletta" depends on the context in which it's used.
Here are the two most common meanings:

1. Italian Word:

In Italian, "nuvoletta" is a feminine noun meaning "little cloud" or
"puff". It can also figuratively refer to a thought bubble or speech bubble.

2. Character in Finnegans Wake:

In James Joyce's novel "Finnegans Wake," Nuvoletta is a young woman
whose name reflects her dual nature:

Literally: She represents a child observing the world around her.
Figuratively: She embodies a cloud, symbolizing fluidity, impermanence,
and the ever-changing nature of thoughts and emotions.
