Nephophobia
Fear of Clouds
Nephophobia, derived from the Greek words "nephos" meaning cloud and "phobos" meaning fear, is the persistent and irrational fear of clouds. While most people find clouds to be beautiful or, at most indifferent, individuals with nephophobia experience significant anxiety and distress when confronted with them. This fear can manifest in various ways, from mild unease to intense panic attacks. It can significantly impact daily life, causing individuals to avoid outdoor activities, close windows, or even seek shelter indoors during cloudy days.
