Weather: A condition in which the sky is completely obscured by clouds. Verb: To make stitches which cause the threads to lock both in and over the edge of the fabric, thus binding the raw edge(s) of the fabric to protect against unraveling. This can be accomplished by zigzagging over the edge of the fabric with an ordinary sewing machine or by using a serger. (The stitches are very different using a serger, but the general purpose is more or less the same.)
When at least 95% of the sky is covered by clouds
A weather description for clouds depicting a low ceiling of continuous clouds.
the state of the sky when it is covered by clouds
gloomy semidarkness caused by cloud cover
make overcast or cloudy; "Fall weather often overcasts our beaches"
filled or abounding with clouds
100 per cent cloud cover, giving dull, gray conditions over a significant period.
When 95% or more of the sky is completely covered by clouds.
when more than 9/10ths of the sky is covered with clouds.
An area of the sky completely covered by a layer of clouds.
Greater than 9/10 cloud cover.
An official sky cover classification for aviation weather observations, when the sky is completely covered by an obscuring phenomenon. This is applied only when obscuring phenomenon aloft are present--that is, not when obscuring phenomenon are surface-based, such as fog.
Sky condition when 9/10 or 10/10 of the sky is covered.
sky cover classification describing a sky with 95% or more cloud cover
Sky condition when greater than 9/10 of the sky is covered.
Sky condition when greater than 7/8 of the sky is covered. See Sky Terminology.
When the sky is overcast, clouds cover the sky.
1. Descriptive of a sky cover of 1.0 (95% or more) when at least a portion of this amount is attributable to clouds or obscuring phenomena aloft; that is, when the total sky cover is not due entirely to surface-based obscuring phenomena. In aviation weather observations, an overcast sky cover is denoted by the symbol " symbol"; it may be explicitly identified as thin (predominantly transparent); otherwise a predominantly opaque status is implicit. An opaque overcast sky cover always constitutes a ceiling. See obscuration. 2. Popularly, the cloud layer that covers most or all of the sky. It generally suggests a widespread layer of clouds such as that considered typical of a warm front.
Weather conditions with 90% or more cloud cover.
The amount of sky cover for a cloud layer that is 8/8ths, based on the summation layer amount for that layer.
Overcast or overcast weather is the meteorological condition in which clouds obscure 95% or more of the sky.
