Clouds ... Any apps to track them

Are there any websites or apps (android) that will show predicted cloud coverage?

Hello. .. I see there is no answer there to your question. Firstly I'm not a weather expert here (but have been hanging around here around for a while! I am also interested in cloud cover from a solar panel hobby point of view and I use this site as follows:

https://www.wxcharts.com/?panel=default&model=gfs,gfs,gfs,gfs&region=uk&chart=overview,850temp,wind10mkph,snowdepth&run=06&step=003&plottype=10&lat=51.842&lon=-8.494&skewtstep=0

Check out the 'cloud cover' section on the bottom right (if you're using PC/laptop) - it seems to be reasonable up to 2 to 3 days.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Windy.com (or the Windy app) has a section for cloud cover

https://www.windy.com/-Clouds-clouds?clouds,53.338,-6.259,5

Or Windguru.cz (or the Windguru app) has % indicators for high/mid/low level cloud (but coastal areas, as it's primarily a windsurfing tool)

I'm looking at things from a PV perspective.

I've used the Solcast API toolkit for PV prediction but I found its uncertainty was too great.

Forecasting it myself has proved more reliable!
