"large breaks in overcast"

I usually call that "scattered".

Just like "small breaks in overcast" would be "broken".

Isn't "large breaks in overcast" kinda like saying "dry rain began at 42 after the hour".

large breaks in overcast

so why don't they just put broken if there are breaks

Could be the that the sky cover is still more more than 7/8ths which technically speaking is an overcast sky. Something like that...
