The weather may or may not affect your viewing of the American eclipse. If the sky is completely cloud covered you may miss the experience, but you need to be prepared and have your solar protection glasses for eclipse viewing ready to experience a moment that may only occur once in your lifetime.
Who Can Predict the Weather?
Although it is impossible to predict the weather at a specific time and on 21 August 2017, you can expect the weather to be good because it usually is at that time of the year and across the path that it will cover from Oregon across to South Carolina.
You will need to be able to see the sun to enjoy the total eclipse. There is a band of approximately 50 miles across the entire country, between those two states, where the eclipse will pass. If the weather forecast is poor where you live or where you intend to drive to, check the weather forecasts and choose another location, which gives you over 2½ thousand miles.
The Filter Is Vital for The Safety of Your Eyes
This is a superior filter that is specifically manufactured to allow safe viewing of the sun without suffering from damaging effects which may bother your eyes for years to come. Your choice of glasses for eclipse viewing should be from a professional company who manufacture millions to a very high standard. You should be able to check testimonials and reviews and always allow sufficient time to purchase enough glasses for you and your family and a couple of spares, just in case other friends arrive unannounced.
For the safety of your eyes and those of your family, you should not attempt to make glasses for eclipse viewing yourself. It is important to purchase filters that have been manufactured professionally but still offer a fun and entertaining day and allow you to customize models for each member of your party.
