2. Cloudy: It can be said to be cloudy when the cloud amount of low clouds accounts for 4/ 10~7/ 10 of the sky area or the cloud amount of high clouds accounts for more than 6/ 10 of the sky area.

3. Yin: It is called Yin when the cloud amount of the middle and low clouds accounts for more than 8/ 10 of the sky area. A cloudy day means that the sky is dark, and little or no sunlight passes through the clouds.

4. Light rain or moderate rain: it is called light rain when the 24-hour rainfall is less than 10.0mm or 1 hour rainfall is less than 2.5mm, and it is called moderate rain when the 24-hour rainfall is between 1 0.0 ~ 24.9mm or1hour rainfall is between 2.5 ~ 8.0mm. ..
