Calibrate your exposure using the full sun a day or two before. Shoot with f/11 or f/16 and a series with every 1/3 step from 1/4000 to 1/15 at base ISO. Evaluate the histograms from the whole series and choose one that is as far to the right as possible without blowing any channel. If the sky is hazy, you can count on a difference of about 1 stop.
