The following cloud maps show average monthly cloud cover along the tracks of upcoming eclipses, both annular and total, as shown in the figure above. Cloud-cover statistics are derived from measurements from various polar-orbiting satellite (2000-2019).
February 6, 2027 annular solar eclipse with average February daytime cloud cover derived from 20 years of satellite data, 2000-2019. Data: CM-SAF. Eclipse track: Xavier Jubier.
2028 July 22 total solar eclipse with average July daytime cloud cover derived from 18 years of polar-orbiting satellite data. Data: CM-SAF. Eclipse track: Xavier Jubier.For those looking farther into the future, here are cloud-cover maps for each month with annular and total eclipse tracks added.
