Default # of Clear Days in a Region of the Country?

Is there a source that will tell me how many clear days a particular region
(city) has had over some period of time? In particular, I'd like to know
how many clear (reasonably cloudless) days we've had since Oct. 1, 2004.

The information is available. For what city do you need the data?

His location is btwn San Fran and Reno and Reno/s Climate Reports do not
report average sky cover. The local NWS office might have cooperative
observer data closer to Nevada City.

You can also see if there is a sponsored ClearSky Clock in your area. If so
you can get past forecasted data for cloud cover, seeing transparency, etc.
If have found these forecast clocks to be very accurate. Here is the one
for my observatory.

I think I read about this facility in a Sky&Telescope mag about 2 years
ago. How do I subscribe? Maybe the S&T site has some details.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on Clocks Home then read the page.
To get the feature I mentioned the clock you use must be a sponsored clock.

Thanks. The reporting seems a bit erratic. For example, there is no Nov.
data, and in Dec. they don't report cloudy. That may because Sacramento is
the fog capital of California, and it's possible they can't see clouds!
Interesting source though.
