I don't have a problem, just a curiosity question. I am a GA pilot who only flies to Europe once or twice a year. On the occasions I have been flying in Europe I have always found the skies, in general, to be cloudier than in the U.S. I seem to recall reading about real world aviation and that this was not unusual for Europe. Why?

Small continent, lots of water around, so more humid air and the alps as condensation point.It alser means milder, more balanced climate than large continental bodies.

Thank you :( Makes sense when you think about it.
