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 St Austell on 12 August 2026?
In St Austell the eclipse is NOT total. The Moon covers 95.1 % of the Sun at 19:15, 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 12.6° 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 St Austell the Sun will be 12.6° 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.
What time the model looks at, and what time the eclipse is here
Nearby, and why they read the same
St Austell shares its model area with these 8: at this range the ensemble cannot tell them apart, so they all come out with very similar numbers.
