I find that the patch tool seems to work pretty well to fill the blank 
area of sky.  The clouds are diffuse enough that the patch tool's 
blending action pretty well takes care of fitting everything together. 
But inspect the boundaries for artifacts as you may find a few.  In that 
case just apply the patch tool again in the area of the artifacts.

Just select the area you want filled (best to not leave any white areas 
crossing the selection boundaries) and then move the destination 
selection around in the clouds until the preview shows something you 
like.  The final result will be more diffuse and blended than the 
preview.  If you don't like the result undo it and try again.  Recall 
that the patch tool blends from the surrounding area so if you get it 
too close to a dissimilar area you may find the tonality or pattern of 
that area drawn into the patch.  For example, don't draw your selection 
too close to the surface of the sea or you'll find it drawn into your 
clouds.
