Future Eclipses

Eclipse tracks 2028-33
Eclipse tracks 2028-2033.

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  between 2000 and 2024.

Complete weather studies for the eclipses of 2026 and 2027 are available elsewhere in Eclipsophile or by following the links above. This section shows a quick look at those farther in the future.

Cloud cover along the track of the 2028 annular solar eclipse
2028 January 26 total solar eclipse with average July daytime cloud cover derived from 20 years of polar-orbiting satellite data. 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.
2030 June 1 annular solar eclipse with  average June cloud amount derived from satellite observations 2000-2019. Data: CM-SAF. Eclipse track: Xavier Jubier.
