    There’s a surprising amount of people here that don’t know the sky is a genderless noun.

    “It’s raining”

    Can also mean

    “(The sky) is raining.”

    If you think that’s simpler to explain.

      I don’t think that’s what’s going on though.

      If you say it’s hot or it’s cold or it’s windy you’re not referring tp the sky.
