Clouds.
In case anyone missed it, the standard practice in outdoor video shoots (typically current affairs, rather than more organised filming) is to try to white balance off any reasonable clouds in the the sky.
While I try to use a handy Kodak grey card myself, I do find that zooming into a cloud mass and using that as a basic balancing tool works 95% of the time. There are of course blue skies (only 3 days a year in the UK!) and also strange weather patterns that result in yellow, purple or pink clouds amongst others.
Oh, and of course this only works outdoors in daylight without other light sources
