    $\begingroup$ Plants do not use UV light, at all. Plants use visible light only. And most of them won't be happy at all with a perpetually overcast sky. Plant growth will be massively slowed down. Everybody dies of starvation. Sad. $\endgroup$

You would probably need conditions similair to venus. With high temperatures in the lower and upper regions of the atmosphere with an incredibly cold layer in between, so that any rain that condensates within the clouds will vaporise before it even hits the ground.
