- Abstract
- United States Cloudiness, Mean Number of Days (Clear, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy) is a point theme representing the mean number of cloudy days as measured at weather stations throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Pacific Islands.
- Purpose
- For educational, non-commercial purposes.
- Supplemental Information
- The data are from observing sites presently in use or include data from former sites that are comparable in exposure. Stations having less than three years of data for the current operating site are omitted from the tables of observed data. Data in this publication have been extracted from the Normals Means and Extremes table contained in the Local Climatological Data Annual Summary, published for individual stations. Stations are listed alphabetically by state. The tables are arranged so that values of the same element can be compared for different locations by use of a single table. Some weather stations do not regularly report various elements and will therefore not be listed in the table for that element. Asterisks (*) denote average frequency of occurrence greater than zero, but smaller than one half.
