In April 2014 the majority (59%) of the forest area of the Brazilian Amazon was covered by clouds, a cover superior to that of April 2013 (55%), which reduced the capacity for detecting deforestation and forest degradation in the region. The States with the greatest cloud cover were Amapá (91%), Roraima (80%) and Pará (76%). The State of Mato Grosso presented a low cloud cover (12%), making it possible to detect deforestation and forest degradation in areas that were under cloud cover in previous months.
