No clouds on Tatooine
Time

I just watched the despecialized version of the OT for the trillionth time and suddenly I felt as if the clouds in the sky of Tatooine didn’t really fit for the theme of a desert planet. I know it might not be that important. But as an admirer of Star Wars I wondered if other fans of the franchise have noticed it or felt the same way I did.
For example the very first scene on Tatooine, where C3P0 and R2 seperate you can see clouds in the sky and tho the makers of the movie aswell as fans might have noticed this seemingly unimportant detail about the movie, I wondered if it really fits into the setting.
Does it even rain on Tatooine? Does the atmosphere of the planet have any humidity?
I know this might not even be important but I wondered if anybody before me has wondered about the clouds of the original movie from 77.
I know there are no clouds in Phantom Menace. And somehow, suddenly, and excuse me for this arbitrary statement, seeing clouds on Tatooine appears to be immersion breaking to me. I even considered to edit Harmys (god bless them) despecialized version of the movie for myself so I could watch it without clouds on Tatooine but then again I wonder if it’s even that important.
I hope any of the more “hardcore” fans of Star Wars could tell me if clouds on Tatooine are a normal or at least acceptable thing or should Tatooine be clear skyed and cloudless to truly become a “desert planet”?
I would like to thank anybody who read this lengthy post and considered my line of thought in advance. For I know others might think that Tatooine should have clouds for whatever reason.
