It looks like Homey uses OpenWeatherMap, but don’t shoot me if it isn’t 😆  
These are the descriptions:

Of course you can consider using the [Openweather app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-openweather/61482)

Haha, I thought the same but couldn’t find a proof 😄  
It could be the weather description returned by OpenWeatherMap based on your language (english?). But I couldn’t find that capability in developer dashboard to check if it’s a plain text or an enum variable.

You can send the info-text to a Log when on changing.

Then I would better not to count on a text.  
As alternative you could use OpenWeather app.  
There you can make a flow reacting on weather changes (IF weather has changed). There you can select a possible weather condition in the flow conditions (AND part: AND the weather is…) and make your action depending on that condition.
