cloud pattern

Atmospheric visual arrangement

A cloud pattern is a recurring arrangement or formation of clouds in the sky, often used in meteorology to predict weather: The cloud pattern suggested rain was coming.

The term extends to any visual design resembling clouds, as in textiles or marbled paper, or to abstract patterns in data visualization that cluster like clouds.
