Cloud cover is measured in Oktas. (from the greek/Latin Octo - 8)

Its an estimate of how much of the sky is covered by cloud.

A clear sky is 0 Oktas, A summers day sky with fluffy clouds but lots of sky could be 1-3 oktas; An overcast sky with bits of blue showing 7 Oktas, and full overcast 8 Oktas.
