The cloud coverage diagram reports, for every month of the year the frequency of "clear", "cloudy" or "intermediate" conditions.

As the Cloud cover is reported in tenths of coverage (i.e. 0 is 0/10 covered. 10 is total coverage) for the purpose of this graph we have simplified the scale as per the table below.
