cloud cover map

Sky obscuration diagram

A cloud cover map is a visual representation showing the extent and distribution of clouds over a geographic area, typically used in weather forecasting and meteorology.

These maps display cloud density or coverage as percentages or color gradations: The cloud cover map showed clear skies moving in from the west.

Satellite imagery provides data for real-time cloud cover maps, while forecast models generate predicted versions.
