Try resetting your connection to the online services. Go to Settings > General > Data and turn off Online Functionality, then save, then back on, then save, then restart the sim.

Tried. It doesn’t work.

I get this problem about 50% of the time.

5

This MUST be brought to attention of the developers as it kills the realism. Do you have any workarounds?

6

Just to check - do the clouds render correctly on the preset weather modes? I presume you’ve not got developer mode (black toolbar at the top of the screen) switched on?

7

Check that post Live weather stops injecting after a certain duration flown / certain time flown
and if using a PC try disabling IPv6 (need to restart PC).

8

Yes, the clouds render perfectly on preset weather modes. Nopes, no developer mode on.

Even if METAR at VIDP says IFR (that is why you have the bubble), Meteoblue map is not reporting clouds in that region:

Weather Maps | Live Satellite & Weather Radar - meteoblue

Could you fly in a region where Meteoblue reports clouds and check if clouds are injected there ?
Also check your world map prior starting your flight, if you don’t see clouds where you start your flight, then you’ll not get either clouds in the sim.

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

I see no clouds in MSFS, with live weather ON, in all airports of the world. QNH and winds seem ok. The workaround with IPv6 didn’t work for me.

No issues for myself in that regard, but just to be safe, go into your options and ensure the data / online options are all turned on.

Sometimes in updates they get turned off.

14

Been thru all that and more after reading all of the forums this am - nothing is working

I have suffered with this issue for quite some time - on average, I don’t have live weather clouds about 50% of the time.

However, whilst I thought the problem was associated with servers, I now think it is caused by addons in the Community Folder.

Please rename your Community Folder and create a new empty one and then check live weather clouds.

This worked for me.

I am now trying to work out which addon / addons are the cause.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks…tried that as well (although I dont have that much in community anyways)…still no help atm

Ok…I repaired my msfs in apps and features and the clouds are back. I was thinking of reinstalling but I am glad I didnt have to go that route.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard that one yet.

Glad you got it all back.

Actually I was a bit premature - its not 100% - sometime I load and I get clouds and sometime I load and I dont…still cant find the rhyme or reason to it yet.
