WEATHER · CLOUD COVER
Cloud Cover
Total cloud cover — where the sky is clear and where it is overcast right now; split into low, mid and high decks on their own layers.
What it shows
Cloud cover shows how much of the sky is filled with cloud — from clear blue to total overcast — across the whole planet at once.
How to read it
Clear skies stay dark; thickening cloud brightens toward white. The great comma-shaped cloud bands wrapped around low-pressure systems show the weather fronts marching across the mid-latitudes.
