⚠️ The trap
'Cloud' is used in Italian exclusively in the tech sense. For a weather cloud, Italians say 'nuvola'. Mixing them up is a classic error: *'Guarda le cloud nel cielo!'* — incorrect. Say 'nuvole'.

N/A — 'cloud' is used as a loanword; 'nuvola' for weather
"cloud" in English means:
cloud (cloud storage, cloud computing); also: literal cloud (but normally 'nuvola')
