Maybe it's just a bit cloudier than 7/8 oktas and is 7.2/8ths cloudy.

Just a quick one. Anyone parked down washpool lane is about to get moved on as the large construction vehicle needs to get down the lane.

Nobody got moved on and it got down okay.

Thanks Neil was just putting it there just in case as the driver of the cab was not in the best of moods.

Dark42 heading north over me 9/10 cloud cover again unable to see him

I thought cloud cover was rated using Oktas (8ths), do you mean 7/8? Just being pedantic

Oktas? You must be old, like me! Classification in tenths is pretty universal these days.

"Classification in tenths is pretty universal these days"

In what? In Aviation it's measured in eighths...

Thought we'd given up with oktas years ago?

It's now "few", "scattered", "broken" or "overcast".

[POL]

Each of which is based around oktas

"Oktas are often referenced in aviation weather forecasts and low level forecasts: SKC = Sky clear (0 oktas); FEW = Few (1 to 2 oktas); SCT = Scattered (3 to 4 oktas); BKN = Broken (5 to 7 oktas); OVC = Overcast (8 oktas); NSC = nil significant cloud; CAVOK = ceiling and visibility okay"
