The appearance of the enclouding being affected by the weather is
extremely weak.  It's definitely affected by *something*, but that may or
may not be 'weather', per se.  The passage also includes the notion "The
people say it bodes great ill when it covers the whole of the land," which
(if 'the people' are correct, itself a dubious proposition) would imply
that the forces influencing the enclouding are along the lines of 'fate',
and not mundane at all.

(I personally think it's affected by weather, if only due to Occam's
Razor.  But Occam's Razor has often been trumped by the Cool Theory of
Writing :-)
