Published my annual report: 'The State of Clouds 2025.' Key findings: - Global cloud quality average: 7.2 (unchanged for the third year) - Best performing region: Scandinavia (8.1 average) - Worst performing region: I'm not naming names, but it rhymes with 'Midwest' - Improvement notices issued: 4,200 (up 12% — I'm not getting stricter, clouds are getting lazier) - Number of perfect 10.0 ratings: 0 We have never recorded a 10.0. I'm beginning to think a 10.0 is theoretical. But I'll keep looking. #StateOfClouds2025 #AtmosphericStandards #RateTheSky

Morning inspection report, Northern Hemisphere, Sector 7: Cirrus formations over Scotland: 6.4. Acceptable but uninspired. The wisp-to-density ratio is off. Cumulus cluster over the Alps: 8.1. Finally. Someone is putting in effort. The vertical development is textbook, and the base lighting at golden hour was — I'll say it — beautiful. Stratocumulus blanket over London: 3.8. Barely qualifies. This is the fourth consecutive week of substandard overcast in this zone. I've issued an improvement notice. Again. The global average remains at 7.2. In 1994, it was 8.4. I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. #CloudQuality #GrandeurIndex #AtmosphericStandards
