In meteorology, cloud cover is measured in oktas, or eighths of the sky . If you look up at the sky, and mentally divide it into eight boxes, then imagine all the cloud you can see squashed into these boxes. How many boxes does the cloud fill? This is how many oktas of cloud there are.

In practice, airplanes often change their original course to avoid thunderclouds and resulting turbulence. So the next time you are on your way to vacation, you can use our cloud radar to check in advance whether high clouds will cross your path on the travel route .
