Yeah, our weather has been strange lately. Extremely warm with days in a row of rain and then days of heat and humidity. Yesterday the humidity was 73%. It was 30C but felt like 40C with the humidity.
The day I took this it started to storm as I was riding back and after I had put my camera in my car I stood out in the rain for a while, it was nice.

i don't think it's too dark! perhaps - in my opinion - is too less dark!
the storm makes the clouds very dark so that you "turn around and head back" : i think also the pc have to make the same effect !

By the way . . . I looked at bright / contrast adjustments too and they might be ok . . . purely a personal preference but I think the sky still has the drama.

Carlen:
Couple of things come to mind. First, many of the photo-editing programs allow you to select and, therefore, work on different portions differently. If so, then you could work on the sky independant of the rest.
Second . . . I think maybe adjusting midtones a bit may help to give you the change you're seeing as likely needed (light issues) without costing the effect you want to keep (ominus clouds). Another way to accent the sky would be to crop off some of the lower foreground. The composition is a little centralized on the horizontal plane IMO . . . so that crop would, in essence, deal with both issues. Just some ideas for you to consider.
Personally . . . I think the light is a tad too dark . . . but it DOES convey a mood and may be what you're hoping to express to the viewer. It has an almost pre-dawn feel to it.
