Summary:To provide a cloud observation device capable of reducing calculation cost and predicting sunshine probability by a simple method. A cloud observation device includes an image acquisition module which acquires an image in which a camera photographs the sky, a cloud extraction module which extracts clouds in the image, a sun position determination module which determines a sun position in the image, a sunshine probability calculation area setting module which sets a sunshine probability calculation area having the sun position as a base point in the image, and a sunshine probability calculation module which calculates a sunshine probability after a predetermined time has elapsed based on the sunshine probability calculation area and the extracted clouds.
