Interactive Sounding with cloudy layers

Description

Interactive Skew-T diagram displaying temperature (red) and dewpoint (green) profiles as functions of pressure, with cloudy layers highlighted in dark gray shading where relative humidity exceeds 70%. Relative humidity profile, calculated using verified MetPy functions from temperature and dewpoint data, is shown on the adjacent right panel (dashed blue line). Shaded regions delineate continuous cloudy bands between pressure levels, revealing {len(cloud_layers)} distinct cloud layers comprising {total_cloudy_levels}/{len(p)} levels and covering {cloud_fraction:.0%} of the analyzed tropospheric column. The visualization identifies key saturation zones critical for cloud formation and precipitation potential. Statistical summary indicates significant mid-to-upper level moisture conducive to layered cloud development. Pressure ranges from surface (~1000 hPa) to upper troposphere (~200 hPa) following standard meteorological convention.
