How To See The ‘Equinox Eclipse’—With Guaranteed Clear Weather For Totality
20.03.2024 - 04:13 / forbes.com / Red Sea
Today is equinox—when the hours of darkness and daylight are identical across the globe—but in North America, everyone’s thinking about the upcoming total solar eclipse in just over two weeks.
However, totality occurs occasionally on the date of the equinox itself. It last happened in 2015, when an eclipsed sun was seen in clear skies from Svalbard—one of the world’s cloudiest places.
The next “equinox eclipse” will occur a decade from today when, on March 20, 2034, the rare and exquisite celestial event will cross Central Africa and South Asia.
It will bring a brief night in the day, with the sun completely blocked out by the moon for up to 4 minutes and 9 seconds—about the same as what eclipse chasers in North America can experience on April 8.
For those with an adventurous nature who want to witness another total solar eclipse, 2034’s “equinox eclipse” is tempting, with a 99 miles (160 kilometers) wide path of totality stretching from Benin in West Africa to China via 12 countries. There are many potential viewing locations along the path of totality on March 20, 2034 Total Solar Eclipse—some with almost guaranteed clear skies, according to Timeanddate. Here’s the pick:
This UNESCO World Heritage Site will be right on the centerline of the path, offering a totality time of 2 minutes and 51 seconds. With monumental gateways and columns, it’s sure to be a popular spot for eclipse chasers. There’s around a 38% chance of clouds.
Located on the western shore of the Red Sea, this ancient seaport is just inside the path of totality and will see totality for 2 minutes and 58 seconds. There’s just a 5%. It will also experience the 21st century’s longest remaining total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027.
Located in the Indian Himalayas, Leh offers a unique viewing experience with an eclipsed sun low on the western horizon for 1 minute and 57 seconds. Clear skies are not guaranteed here, but the prospect of clear mountain air and dramatic scenery will make Leh a popular location for eclipse chasers.
While it has a 38% chance of cloud, this is a great option for those who want a fly-in, fly-out eclipse experience—it’s just a 40-minute drive from Kuwait City and has a totality time of 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
The natural arches of Chad’s Ennedi Plateau offer a unique viewing experience. With a totality time of 3 minutes 32 seconds and a 7% chance of cloud cover, it’s a great option for adventurers.
