Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that cloud cover reduces the daily temperature range?

Yes. A general earth-science textbook states that clouds reduce the daily temperature range, lowering daytime maxima by reflecting sunlight and raising nighttime minima by retarding heat loss. Several regional studies (Pakistan, Cyprus, Morocco, Sri Lanka) also report that greater cloud cover is associated with a smaller diurnal temperature range.
