And how can Olympia's weather be worse than Seattle's when Seattle's climate is the same type as the UK's (oceanic) and Olympia's climate is the same type as the Mediterranean? It can't be that much cloudier than Seattle, even if it is cloudier.

How is Seattle oceanic, but Olympia Mediterranean? They have the same type of climate.

I prefer a bit less clouds in the warmer months; though the type matters more. Slate gray is always grim, mostly cumulus big cumulus in winter isn't bad. This gloomy winter scene is nice

I went with May for less cloud cover. The blue skies, bright sunshine, green grass, budding trees, and temperatures in the 60s/70s are very nice.

Yeah, it's all about a lack of seasonal variation in cloud cover.

Where is that? It's quite a beautiful scene. Opened in new link but it just goes to imgur...

which would you prefer to be in? Cloudy Mt. Washington or sunny Mt. Washington? Or partly sunny

blue sky is the most cheery. But dull. Partly cloudy is the winner, IMO

I don't want any months to be cloudy. Seems the poll agrees.

Also see EarthEmv.org

For NYC August & September are the least cloudy months. December is the most.

Seattle has less cloud cover than Albany in summer.

I would like to see such chart for European cities.
