    I can never understand the damn things as none of the expressions used seem to have agreed-upon definitions.

    Do you think I have these forecasts in the correct order
    from the most sunny to the least sunny?

    Sunny
    Mostly sunny
    Intermittent clouds
    Partly sunny
    mostly cloudy
    cloudy

    Real world examples here:

    With the weather getting hotter I really want to know what the
    forecasts actually mean. :o

    Yep that pretty much sums it up there Uthur.

    I guess the weathermen are just trying to make the more meteorological terms of clear, few, scattered, broken, overcast, obscured etc more understandable but can see how it could all sound the same to many people without a keen interest in the weather like many here (including myself)
