> Curious... does anyone know a website that shows days of cloud cover for
the current month and previous ones?
This may be what you want
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/Monterey/climate.html
look under the airport section
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/dtx/interpret.htm
Unfortunately NWS does not maintain minutes of sunshine stats for the bay
area.
On just a gross "what kind of day" basis:
For example for SJC in December 2003
CLEAR (SCALE 0-3) 1
PTCLDY (SCALE 4-7) 10
CLOUDY (SCALE 8-10) 14
November 2003
CLEAR (SCALE 0-3) 9
PTCLDY (SCALE 4-7) 13
CLOUDY (SCALE 8-10) 8
October 2003
CLEAR (SCALE 0-3) 18
PTCLDY (SCALE 4-7) 12
CLOUDY (SCALE 8-10) 1
December 2002
CLEAR (SCALE 0-3) 8
PTCLDY (SCALE 4-7) 12
CLOUDY (SCALE 8-10) 11
November 2002
CLEAR (SCALE 0-3) 7
PTCLDY (SCALE 4-7) 18
CLOUDY (SCALE 8-10) 5
