Why do you need this i.e. for technical reasons? I would say cloud cover has about no effect due to the following arguments: 1) Cell towers are relatively in the sky so the signal essentially travels parallel to earth. 2) High frequency waves travel essentially in straight lines from the transmitter to receiver, unlike HF communications which can reflect and bounce off land, water, and ionosphere. 3) Clouds are mostly transparent to such high frequences. Satellite TV has only a small impact from weather. |

Not technical reasons...just curious. Thanks for your comment though. |

"High frequency waves travel essentially in straight lines" I am fairly certain that 'waves' do not travel in 'straight lines'. Atleast in their universe, possibly you live in another dimension where the physical laws of the universe are different? |
