I do not know about your area of the country you live in but, where I live almost every day or two or three, there are heavy clouds and dark clouds, several people have remarked how over cast and dark the sky appears. This ran through my mind, and sure enough the Lord speaks about this in His word. In Joel 2:1-2, Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountain: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Then in Zephaniah 1:15, That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.
I guess my point is, we are surely close to that day of wrath. We need to be looking up, for our redemption is surely drawing nigh!
May the Lord Jesus Bless You All.
