How does weather effect bowling in cricket? One

How does weather effect bowling in cricket? One can blame physics for that, when the cloud cover is present, then the conditions becomes humate and heavy, so when a bowler release the ball and goes through the humate, heavy air, it gets wet just enough to slip through and cut through and swing through the air depending on the density of the air at various point, also the bowler’s twist of the wrist increases this process and control the fact that which way, it will swing depending on the skill and experience of the bowler of course . That's why pitch doesn't have to be green in this case because most of the swing happens in the air, not of the pitch unless it's a fresh wicket then because of the early moisture the balls slips through pitch, but later it's stopped happening because all the moisture has dried out by then and pitch tends to be old and dusty, and it makes the ball grip onto the pitch and turn. Now coming back to swing, when it's cloudy the keyword is moisture, when we think of cloudy weather, we think of cold English conditions but that's not true at all in reality, because the key thing is moisture when conditions becomes very very hot and humate then also for the same reason ball swings, for example Chennai. The difference is because of the heat pitch becomes dry and dusty very very quickly and Indian spinner tend to be in the action most of the time. So we don't get to see that much of swing. Whereas in England because of the cool temperatures and lack of sunshine pitch remains fresh all day and doesn't break down and becomes dusty, that is spin doesn't happen there much and swings all day.
