Sky Conditions Inaccurate

[ensco]

Sky conditions for the condition "Mostly Cloudy" are more indicative of "Partly Cloudy" sky conditions.

The sky condition for "Mostly Cloudy" has too much sun and not enough cloud.

:idea:

Thanks for reporting we will review this.
Have you noticed this problem on regular Village landscape or on some other one?
Which build do you use?

[ensco]

Yes, with the default village.

The build is 382.

We interprete Mostly Cloudy as 3/4 sky is covered with clouds.
I just have checked Mostly Cloudy on the latest build.
For me it looks plausable.

Friends, what do you think?

Pasha, I think if I remember correctly the partly cloudy icon was displayed at the time with a mostly cloudy description for live conditions and that is when I noticed that it was not cloudy enough. It was more like a partly cloudy day and not mostly cloudy. This was under live conditions and not the forecasted conditions.

Also I don't think that the icon for live actual conditions matched the mostly cloudy description as the icon appeared to be more for partly cloudy.

[ensco]

I have under live conditions right now a correct icon for the described mostly cloudy conditions and it appears the sky condition is correct although it is night.

So at the time when I noticed this the icon then did not match the described conditions and the live sky matched the icon and not the described conditions at that time.

aaahhhhh
I don't get it

Do you mean that our icon for Mostly Cloudy does not reflect the actual 3/4 cloud coverage?

[ensco]

Pasha, what seems to have happened and I have no idea what caused this is the icon for the live current conditions that were reported did not match the reported condtions in words below it which is displayed in the upper right of the screen.

You had a partly cloudy icon for a mostly cloudy condtion. The reported condition in words below the icon was correct but the icon was wrong.

And so the YoWindow sky seemed to be matched to the icon but the icon was not matched to the actual conditions so as I said a partly cloudy sky when it should have been a mostly cloudy sky.

The icon that appeared tonight was a solid cloud for mostly cloudy and this afternoon a cloud with sun icon appeared for mostly cloudy.

Maybe it was just a glitch as I did not notice this before but I will watch to see if the icon does not match in the future.

I hope I described this a little better.
