Today is the total solar eclipse in Ontario, as well as across the US, Mexico and a number of other Canadian provinces, but the weather may not be cooperating.
Environment Canada Senior Climatologist David Phillips says right now there’s certainly clouds in the forecast, but that could change in a hurry.
Phillips says even with clouds in the sky during a solar eclipse, it will still appear like nighttime out, you just may not be able to get a great look at the sun.
Regardless of what Mother Nature has in store for the event, there will still be lots of noticeable differences outside of how bright it is outside. Phillips says as someone who studies the weather, one of the biggest ones will be the temperature.
He reminds eclipse-watchers to always wear proper eye protection if you plan on viewing the eclipse, which includes ISO-certified glasses.
