December 3, 20214 yr I am parked in Venice, Italy. The NOAA METAR indicates a CAVOK weather and the Asobo engine shows a very cloudy weather. Asobo wins this one, after having checked with Windy.co and local weather cams.

You can have 99% clouds* at +5000ft, METAR would still say CAVOK if visibilty is greater than 10KM My Windy indicates clouds at 9500ft at Venice, for example. * No TCU/CB activity.
