Eclipse Weather
in Australia
by Jay Anderson, Meteorologist & TravelQuest Study-Leader
The best weather prospects for viewing the
eclipse will be found inland. Cloud cover is at its lowest
from the vicinity of Woomera eastward to the end of the track.
The higher solar elevation on the coast is not likely to
compensate for the greater amount of cloud, leaving the
adventurer with a hot and dusty, but ultimately sunnier inland
location for best circumstances. Temperatures could be
very high and suitable precautions should be taken to protect
from heat stroke.
Save for the fact that the eclipse occurs at sunset,
Australia would be an easy choice over Africa if weather were
the only factor to be considered when selecting a viewing site. |
