On cloudy summer days, it can feel colder because the clouds block out a significant portion of the sun's rays. While some sunlight does penetrate through the clouds, a considerable amount is reflected back into space or absorbed by the cloud particles. Therefore, less sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, leading to a decrease in heat and a cooler feeling. Additionally, clouds can also prevent warm air near the surface from rising, further contributing to the cooler temperatures.
