The eclipse is over. Did you catch it?
Here are the photos, videos and news from today. And the next one already has a date: the total eclipse of 2 August 2027, this time over Andalusia.
Will the sky be clear over Dublin on 12 August 2026?
In Dublin the eclipse is NOT total. The Moon covers 94 % of the Sun at 19:10, but it never gets dark here.
How the ensemble scenarios split for 12 August
— of the scenarios give usable sky
Fetching today’s data…
The model measures cloud overhead; the Sun will be 14.7° up, almost flat.
Where this falls
Each dot is a place with its own reading. The colour is its scenarios.
Hour by hour colour = low cloud
The bar is CLEAR SKY: the fuller, the better.
Where the Sun will be, and why that changes what can block it
In Dublin the Sun will be 14.7° above the horizon. The model measures cloud in the vertical, and with the Sun this low what can block it is the cloud to the west-north-west, not the cloud above you.
