The CloudyWeather class allows you to change the weather conditions in the scene to cloudy weather.

scene-atmosphere

Example:

let view = new SceneView({
container: "viewDiv",
map: new Map({
basemap: "satellite",
ground: "world-elevation"
}),
environment: {
weather: {
type: "cloudy",
cloudCover: 0.8 // autocasts as new CloudyWeather({ cloudCover: 0.8 })
}
}
});

The weather visualization updates as soon as the property changes:

view.environment.weather = {
type: "cloudy",
cloudCover: 0.4 // autocasts as new CloudyWeather({ cloudCover: 0.4 })
}
