partly cloudy
Some sun, some shade
Partly cloudy describes weather conditions where clouds cover a portion of the sky but significant sunlight still comes through.
The term typically indicates 30-70% cloud coverage.
Meteorologists distinguish it from partly sunny, though in practice the two are often interchangeable: The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-seventies.
