Didn't catch report - is it related to The Cloud? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to the cloud?' is the definition.
(mist is a kind of cloud)

'didn't catch report' is the wordplay.
'didn't catch' becomes 'missed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'report' shows a homophone (sound like).
'missed' sounds like 'MIST'.

'is it related' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mist that I've seen before include "Fine spray" , "Fret" , "Slight fog" , "low-level cloud" , "Cloud; thin fog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
