Question

if the sky is one-quater filled with cumulus clouds.what is the percentage of cloud cover? what is the probability of rain​

Answer 1

Answer:

58%is the probability of rain

Answer 2

The percentage of cloud cover is 25% and probability of rain is 0.

• 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 to 2/8. Therefor cloud coverage is 2 Okta.
• Cumulus clouds are the fluffy white clouds that contain little to no moisture content.
• 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. Chance of rain is high with cumulonimbus clouds.
