When we talk about weather, the term "stratiform" is used to describe a type of cloud that appears as a continuous layer covering a large portion of the sky. If we want to express that the cloud cover is even more extensive and uniform, there are several synonyms we can use. Words such as "widespread," "blanketing," "uniform," "continuous," and "overcast" all describe a cloud cover that is more stratiform than usual. These words can be used interchangeably depending on the context in which they are used. For example, "the overcast sky made the day feel dreary" or "the widespread cloud cover made it difficult to see the sun".
