How do you know what cloud cover you have? By observation? I imagine that would only work when the moon is out.

Aviation METARS are handy for lower level info, but on stations with automated cloud reporting, clouds above 12,500 feet aren't reported due to measurement limits. Clear sky below FL125 results in CAVOK (Cloud and Visibility OK) even if there are clouds up higher.
