Which sequence correctly orders cloud coverage from least to most?
- A.SKC, FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC
- B.FEW, SKC, OVC, SCT, BKN
- C.SCT, FEW, BKN, SKC, OVC
Correct answer
A. SKC, FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC
Why
SKC means sky clear, FEW is 1 to 2 eighths, SCT is 3 to 4 eighths, BKN is 5 to 7 eighths, and OVC is the full 8 eighths. Learning the order makes a METAR cloud section quick to read.
