I haven’t seen an overcast depicted in the UK since SU7.
Currently at EGBB. Overcast shown on the world map, overcast shown in the metar, clear skies shown in the sim. This is so annoying.

Completely agree it has been like this for a quite a while now. It is a shame and concerning that MS/Asobo don’t seem to be acknowledging this as an ongoing issue.

I don’t particularly see what is funny about it, but each to their own !!
In answer to your question, I waited about 15 mins at each location I spawned at, as I am completely aware that on occasions the weather can take time to be generated (another bug by the way) and as a further check I switched the weather to a pre-set and back to Live.

LOL < this sim is funny to no end. Right now Im at a place I cant launch with PG on because the framerate wants to sit @5 fps. If I launch putter along, turn off pg…my fps jumps to 20+ … wait 5 mins or so switch PG back on and now were back at 20+ again steady… LOL???
Clear skies still at EGBB, this is however as far as I can see not a bug as such, but actually an issue with Meteoblue. Since SU7 they changed their Meteoblue data, and it seems for the UK it is now really bad at getting accurate predictions for cloud coverage. See below this chart from Meteoblue which states currently a cloud cover of only 3% (bottom left)
Live weather seems to be broken again, flying over Germany now at FL380, wind always 225/3 and clear skies.
Are you familiar with this?
Yes thank you I am familiar with this, its not relevant to what I was demonstrating here though.
Sadly another bug that was introduced in to the Live Weather system that is still to be fixed, as I understand it.

Dreary as hell and overcast here today and I got this earlier in UK in the south east.
Can someone tag xbox in the OP post as well, it’s not just PC that has all the issues.

Maybe they changed CB-clouds into clear sky over UK instead?
For me this is the worst part - rarely do I get precip at the arrival airport despite what the metar says…one of many areas that Live Weather needs improvement on…
Can someone post an image that show a match of the weather of this METAR? 251650Z AUTO 22005KT 9999 BKN037 05/02 Q1031 updated 26 minutes ago. I don’t really know how it should look like there to be a match to real world weather at that location this METAR is from without looking at webcam photos. I think it’s hard to find a match without knowing exactly how it looks like there IRL by view it with our own eyes. Must be a hard thing to create weather by using this information to match the current real world weather. I wish i had the old dynamic weather back that felt much more believable.
If you click on the arrow it means you don't know how it looks like.
It’s a METAR from Belfast. EGAA. This is a webcam photo 5 minutes ago.
To me it feels like the METAR didn’t match the real condition 
Those are the latest METAR reprots.

If you start the sim, load your flight, and then hit restart flight, does that bring in the correct weather?
Sadly it does not

Well sadly the ticket I opened has been closed.
They have closed it referring back to this thread which they say is on their bug’s and issues list.
The problem being as I see it, this is vague “Does Not Match” . Does not match what ? The problem I raised with them and demonstrated to them was that it did not match the source of the weather i.e. Metroblue, it did not match the METAR and it did not match what I was seeing outside, which incidentally did match what was in Metrobule and what was in the METAR. In my view that actually means its broken, not working at all. They don’t seem to see it this way.
I think we are in for a very long wait before we see any improvement in this.
