Weather is confusing in French for English speakers
It is cloudy (adj) translates into French as Il y a des nuages (noun) or Il fait nuageux (adj). English seems to only use the adjective? Thoughts.

Bonjour William !
Actually, in French you won't use "il fait" with specific adjectives likes "nuageux". Instead you'll say:
"C'est nuageux aujourd'hui." or as you said "Il y a des nuages aujourd'hui."
Bonne journée !
