Best cloud prediction site for meteor watching

Discodog · 2010-08-12 18:17:27

So we are all hoping for clear skies but here it looks as if we will have cloud with some clear patches. What is the most regularly updated site to help with predicting when it will be clear - bearing in mind that it will be at night ?. I would hate to go to bed only to discover that the sky cleared.

Im not sure of any cloud prediction sites that you speak of, certainly not one that could be accurate enough to be useful, but, try something like this SAT24. The Infra-Red at night has not got the best resolution but it will definitely be a good indicator.
