Every kid intuitively knows that it‘s warmer when there‘s direct sunlight when compared to clouds. Especially in modernday cities, with lots of concrete, direct sunlight creates a lot of heat. The past decades have seen a decrease in cloud coverage in Europe alongside warming. https://climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2022/clouds-and-sunshine-duration

Couldn‘t it be that warming and clouds are related?

What do you think about this?

Sounds reasonable. Since I’m a grown kid, it seems very intuitive to come to this conclusion. The question is: Why is there less cloud coverage?
