Answer 1

Answer:

25% of the sky has been covered by clouds.

58% is the probability of rain

Explanation:

The cloud coverage is 2 okta and the chance of rainfall is nil.

Cloud coverage is calculated by dividing the sky into eight equal parts and the unit of cloud coverage is Okta.

1 Okta = 1/8th of the sky is covered.

Here 1/4 of the sky is covered which equals 2/8. Therefore cloud coverage is 2 Okta.

Cumulus clouds are fluffy white clouds that contain little to no moisture content.

The Chance of rainfall is little to no in case of cumulus clouds.

But the cumulus clouds can take up moisture and become cumulonimbus clouds. These are the dark thunderstorm clouds. The Chance of rain is high with cumulonimbus clouds.
