It is worth checking if the bug might be related to UK-data only. I checked LFQQ, which is affected by the same weather system as EGLF, and it was consistent for an hour.

The situation:
METAR: EGGP 080950Z 30004KT 3000 RA FEW005 OVC011 17/16 Q1004 ingame situation: visibilty bubble, but no clouds whatsoever
Around 1005Z clouds started to appear, video starts at 1007Z and runs for approx 45 minutes (condensed to 1.5 min)
I also checked LFMN which also had rainy weather, and it was consistently accurate, so it seems it is a UK/Ireland problem

I apologize for not posting the bug - just want to thank YOU for the effort !
I think this is more of an EU-wide problem (at least) and I think it’s a general problem - I’ve seen something similar in Germany/AUT !

Image speaks for itself really. This is not broken at 3500.
Incredibly disappointing that it’s not even “bug logged” yet. UK flying is out the window until this is fixed. Or are we just being made to wait until 2024 is released?

Metar reporting 3 layers:
Few clouds at a height of 1300 ft
Scattered clouds at a height of 2400 ft
Broken clouds at a height of 3500 ft
There is no way this is even close to being 3 cloud layers as reported.

Definitely there is something wrong with the way MSFS translate the METAR info:
Latest 2 metars for LEMD
METAR LEMD 201730Z 00000KT 9999 BKN070 22/13 Q1014 NOSIG
METAR LEMD 201700Z 13001KT 9999 SCT070 22/13 Q1014 NOSIG
Instead, the sim show this (that is similar to FEW preset coverage):
And these are the BKN and SCT presets. Not perfect, but the coverage is more similar to real life one:

Bug still happening - no clouds or rain injected.
Are you physically located in the UK? There is some evidence that this bug depends on where you are located in the world and which local MS servers you connect to. I am in the US northeast. I just spawned at EGBB and have the clouds and rain indicated in the METAR.
A similar thing happened in a test I did last week at EGPP where the METAR indicated a solid overcast. UK-based MSFS users would either get no clouds at all, or any clouds that were there initially would quickly evaporate leaving clear skies or only scattered clouds. I had solid overcast for a full hour.
Yep, I live in the UK about 30 mins from EGBB. I tried again at 13:30 roughly and there were still no clouds. Thanks for checking. Must be something to do with physical location as you suggest.
