I guess it would be more precise to say "Where you hide inside clouds there may be bright blue sky for others and vice versa". If the cloud pattern is generated locally and randomly by each client, a 1/10 cloud coverage is very likely to differ from client to client to the pattern of:
OOXOO
OOOOO
vs.
OOOOO
OXOOO
Your chance of being visible is 10 to 1 in this case. When the cloud cover is 5/10, you have, on the contrary, a 50% chance that both you and your enemy see a cloud at the same spot. Although you can never be sure that hiding in clouds works online, it might work with increasing chance as there are more clouds on the sky. Just a speculation.
