Cloud Cover
Overcast 90% covered 80%covered 70% covered 60% covered 50% covered 40% covered 30% covered 20% covered 10% covered Clear

The explanation of Cloud Cover Forecast is shown upon, according to the different sky color in different weather conditions, we use a 11-lever system for Cloud Cover Forecast. The Clear Sky Clock may put the high cloud too much. When the 7Timer! says it's "overcast", this overcast maybe very thin, thin enough to see the moon, planet or stars. It also could miss the smog near the ground. And it could not always give the exact time of the time those clouds/holes pass,  and it may miss the thunderstorms in summer.

Transparency

Very Poor Poor Average Good Excellent

The explanation of Transparency Forecast is shown upon, we use a 5-lever system for Transparency Forecast. The Transparency discuss here includes atmosphere humidity and smog effect. The smog might have a bigger effect on transparency, e.g. in cities, the smog refract the lights and might makes the condition worse, than it in countryside. We'll discard the transparency output if the cloud cover is greater than 30%.

Humidity

<29% 30%-35 % 35%-40% 40%-45% 45%-50% 50%-55% 55%-60% 60%-65% 65%-70% 70%-75% 75%-80% 80%-85% 85%-90% 90%-95% 95%-99% 100%

The Relative Humidity can show the difference value between  temperature and dew point. If the Relative Humidity is high, the dew will comes out much more easier. Though, the Humidity can change in a small region, e.g. in the mountains the Humidity may be higher than expect, so please notice this effect.

If you feel there're some other elements need to be forecast, feel free to write me by the feedback form.
