It is used in Scotland to describe dreary, dull, or miserable weather, typically overcast, cold, wet, and gloomy for long periods. People typically say "It's a dreich day" or "Another dreich Scottish morning." The term originated in Old English and remained in Scottish English while fading elsewhere, becoming one of the most iconic Scottish weather words, often cited as untranslatable.
