En français universel quand on classe systématiquement les nuages, selon le nombre d'octas ou de dixièmes de la voûte céleste qu'ils occupent, il n'y a aucune catégorie appelée «ciel nuageux». Bien sûr, l'expression existe dans la langue courante avec le sens très approximatif de «qui contient des nuages». Au Canada, par ailleurs, les météorologues prévisionnistes, quand ils communiquent les situations météorologiques au public, utilisent une catégorie «ciel nuageux», bien définie par la Terminologie nationale de la nébulosité, qui désigne une couverture nuageuse d'au moins 6 dixièmes. 2, record 2, French, - ciel%20semi%2Dnuageux
