Theme week! -- for it's been a while since the last one. This time, we're doing forgotten weather terms from this Mental Floss post, starting with:


gleamy (GLEEM-ee) - adj., (of weather) fitful and uncertain, intermittently sunny.


Broken rain clouds mixed with gleams of sun, seems to be the image. Apparently from gleam, a good old Old English derivative.
