Estar/ser

Estar/ser

I know ser means ‘to be’ in terms of characteristics and estar means ‘to be’ in temporary sense or in terms of location but why does this exercise use estar for ‘to be clear’ and ‘is cloudy’ but ser for ‘can be unstable’?

I'd like to know that too!

Same my guess is that unstable relates more to characteristic of the weather itself "ser" and cloudy and clear are temporary/changing patterns "estar"
