As raised by a project stakeholder in 2008, ‘oktas’ or cloud cover is an alternative indicator ofweather, and one that is perhaps more likely to influence sun protection behaviours. Cloudcover is measured in units of ‘okta’, where a day that has an okta level of over 6 is regarded asa cloudy day. Table 1.3.4 reports the proportion of cloudy days across capital cities during andjust prior to the research fieldwork. The data shows that cloud cover during the November2006 and November 2007 fieldwork was reasonably consistent with approximately a third ofdays (36% and 33% respectively) during the research period being cloudy. There was agreater proportion of cloudy days during the February 2008 fieldwork period, with a nationalaverage of almost one in two days being cloudy (48%) compared to the corresponding periodsin 2007 (28%), 2009 (43%) and 2010 (39%). This is unsurprising considering the higherproportion of wet days and levels of rainfall over this period noted above.Table 1.3.4 Average proportion of cloudy days across capital cities during fieldwork periods andpreceding fortnightsNov 06 Feb 07 Nov 07 Feb 08 Feb 09 Feb 10Canberra 42% 15% 38% 50% 40% N/ASydney 42% 35% 38% 65% 52% 55%Melbourne 58% 20% 29% 55% 20% 28%Brisbane 32% 25% 48% 55% 44% 38%Adelaide 42% 10% 24% 15% N/A N/APerth 26% 10% 0% 25% 16% 21%Hobart 37% 40% 48% 40% 36% 28%Darwin 11% 65% 43% 80% 92% 66%Average acrosscities36% 28% 33% 48% 43% 39%Department of Health and AgeingEvaluation of Skin Cancer Campaign | 2010 | PAGE 19
