There are some situations where a camera exposure reading is tough, but other methods are easier. It pays to try some of them and check the results/fine tune them.
1. Learn the sunny f/16 rule (f/16 at 1/iso sec) and correct from there.
2. Learn the adjustments to sunny f/16 rule (combine following):
-- for bright or hazy sun and distinct shadows +0 ev (sunny f/16 rule)
-- weak hazy sun, soft shadows +1 ev
-- cloudy bright, no shadows + 2 ev
-- cloudy dull no shadows or open shade + 3 ev
-- within 2 hours of sunrise or sunset + 1 ev
-- snow scene or beach - 1/2 ev
3. Spot meter blue sky, far from the sun--it is a midtone.
4. Spot meter brightest area (e.g., white puffy clouds, or nearby bright snow) and set exposure at +3 ev
5. Get an incident light meter
