Why does Sunlight seem diffrent when there is a dark cloud approaching?

I dont know why, but you can always “tell” when a dark cloud is approaching even if you arent looking at the sky. There is something about the sunlight, overal ambience or shadows that changes but i cant put my finger on it.

Ive always had this and just now i woke up from a nap, looked inside my room, beeing filled with lovely sunlight, but something was “off”. I knew it within an instance and when i looked outside i was correct, dark clouds in the distance.

Hoping for someone to finally explain this to me ^^

Have you ever noticed that when a dark cloud rolls in, the sunlight seems to change? That’s because the cloud is blocking some of the sun’s rays from reaching the ground. The cloud acts like a filter, absorbing or scattering certain wavelengths of light. This can make the sunlight look dimmer or redder. The effect can be pretty intense, especially if the cloud is thick or close to the ground. So when you see a dark cloud coming and the sunlight looks different, it’s probably because the cloud is blocking some of the light.
