Please explain it to me. I am from Austria so english isn't my native language.

Well a bit pedantic obviously but overcast is a meteorological term for when at least 95% of the sky is covered in clouds. Very cloudy, gray skies kinda situation.

The photo shows an overcast sky. I think they used the word correctly.

Yeah, thats true. It surely wasn't 95% clouds, thankfully :)

Yeah, doubt picture would be as beautiful!

Thanks! A long exposure time plus strong high winds made the clouds really long and smooth.
