Decomposed > Re: “A cloudless day is much warmer than a cloudy day for the same time of year.”
All I can say is that in winter out here, when the clouds go away, grab your coat. Just look at our forecast. The 18th is both the sunniest and coldest day. That's typical.
The issue may be that cloudless days tend to come with cloudless NIGHTS.

De,
That first line came from the previous posting - which is why I bracketed it with '>>>'
The rest of what you typed is what I been saying - in wintertime (or the arctic) clear days and nights tend to be colder than cloudy days and nights.
And am I the only one who has noticed that on hot summer days . . . cloud cover tends to cool the air near the ground?
(And a look at your chart - Thursday 20 - temperature 19 degrees and cloudy with snow showers . . )
