Cloud prediction / forecasts

[Rez]

Hi Everyone,

I hope this isn't a silly question

Is there a better way to predict cloud cover other than the Bureau of Meteorology Web Site or going outside and looking at the sky ?

Im near the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne.

There's a few weather references in the Weather page on IIS.

But BOM is pretty good.
