Google Earth also does not show clouds!
-

Imagery available on NOAA sites, but not Windy or, apparently, on Google.

I have the same issue, here in eastern washington. There was an x-3 class solar flare with a couple of high M's in the mix which are probably wreaking havoc on satellites in general (though, weirdly, they always omit any solar influence from any of their coversations.) starlink satellites went down, too, in several places. It's the sun. (BTW, the sun controls the climate, too. Not CO2...the earth is cooling.)

Strong winds, turbulence or convection currents can temporarily disrupt cloud formations, creating gaps in coverage.

If a satellite image is missing a lot of clouds, this can cause and affect a number of different aspects that I learned about on Google.
Difficulty in satellite observation: If the satellite loses a lot of cloud, it can reduce the resolution of the satellite image, making observation from space more difficult. This could affect our ability to monitor weather, monitor the environment, and manage natural resources. -

In such big rectangular area!
No way! -
Clouds can cast shadows on the surface, leading to areas that appear clear in the image.

Is it the major issue?
