Question by Penny: What does “singular” mean in this sentence?

They aren’t talking about meteorology, and all they see when they use the term — which is always singular — is sunshine, not rain.

Singular means that there is ony ONE cloud…it is not plural. The plural would be if there were TWO clouds, or THREE.
Singular Examples-dog, cat, cloud, house, wheel
Plural Examples-dogs, cats, clouds, houses, wheels
It means grammatically singular–not plural. That is, the techies never say ” in the clouds.” It’s always “in the cloud,” as if there were only one cloud in the world.
