Here's a breakdown of what it means in relation to cloud coverage:
* Clear: 0-25% cloud cover
* Partly cloudy: 25-50% cloud cover
* Generally cloudy: 50-90% cloud cover
* Overcast: 90-100% cloud cover
So, if the forecast says "generally cloudy," you can expect a sky that is mostly covered in clouds, but there might be some areas of blue sky peeking through.
