Will you be able to see the solar eclipse in Miami? What the weather forecast says


South Florida is set to experience a partial solar eclipse on Monday afternoon. But will clouds get in the way of the view?

Here’s what the weather forecast says:

The partial eclipse in Florida will block about 46% of the sun’s light during the peak. The celestial show begins around 1:47 p.m. and ends at 4:13 p.m., with the peak at 3:01 p.m., according to the University of Miami.

Monday morning is forecast to be sunny, followed by temperature peaks in the high-70s to low-80s, according to the National Weather Service in Miami. But Will Redman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told the Miami Herald that scattered clouds may block the eclipse for some. Rain isn’t expected.

“There could be some spots that are not as sunny,” Redman said.

Up to 40% of the sky in the Miami area is expected to be cloudy during the eclipse, Redman said. Still, he said there should be plenty of viewing opportunities.

Weather service meteorologist Barry Baxter said South Florida’s west coast, including the Naples area, will have clearer skies.

“The farther west you go toward the Gulf Coast side,” Baxter said, “the more sunny it will be.”
