You could e.g. put the daily data of the Wunderground Web-page (where you likely may have hourly information on cloud coverage) in relation to the sun's position above the horizon. This may allow you to gain eventually an idea on which of all the different meteorological parameters are important for your problem. However, I don't think that statistical analyses will be able to tell you more than very rough tendencies, this as a result of the large (temporal) variations in cloud coverage and thus also of the hole sizes.
