... They can learn about it, and their parents or guardians can take them out to witness it, ...

Yep wealthy parents who can afford to be off work at 3:30.

Expect to feel a roughly 10-degree Fahrenheit (5-degree Celsius) drop in temperature when the sun disappears from view, according to NASA

Night and day': The coming solar eclipse will look very different in Toronto than it will from Niagara. Here's why

I saw it in Florida about 6 ish years ago.

it was very underwhelming. The sun should do better marketing

To be 'Safe', the Eclipse glasses need an Optical Density of 5.0.

Make sure your glasses are certified

Buffalo is right on the centre of the path...does Porter fly there?

Dont point your cellphone camera into the Sun because you can damage your lens

There’s another celestial event happening with eclipse, most of the planets are lined up across the sky, along with a comet. With the darken eclipse sky, this event should be visible with the naked eye.

What's that?

It's usually pointless to trust a weather forecast around here more than a day out, but here we are: Mostly cloudy ...

The system that is approaching is pretty typical and predictable for Southern Ontario. It's just how fast the warm front and Low Pressure center moves in from the SW. Sometimes it stalls.

From all the charts I looked at, I'd say that for Niagara Falls there is;

Less than 25% chance of clear skies like today.

Less than 50% of mostly sunny

More than 50% chance of cloudy/sunny where you can likely still see the sun depending if there happens to be a cloud right above YOU during the 2 min totality event.

Less than 25% chance the sky will be overcast.


Heading east of the GTA will DRAMATICALLY increase the probability of, if not guarantee clear skies!

I wonder how many pockets will be picked tomorrow?

You can follow the cloudy front on radar. At least it wont rain, so thats a positive

My feeling is - Meh. If I see it, great. If I don’t, oh well. I don’t care either way but I am not driving to some spot with thousands of people to see it. I think that is just plain silly. In my opinion. Others don’t like that I have that opinion.

If you want to do it - great. I hope the sky is clear and you get what you want out of it. All the power to you but it is not for me.

And maybe this poll will help others see that not everyone cares about the eclipse either. There are more important things going on in the world anyway

The only total eclipse I ever saw was in Winnipeg on July 20, 1963. I was 17 at the time. It was a clear day, and the sunny sky turned to midnight for a couple of moments. Truly memorable.

In Toronto I saw the 70% partial eclipse on a partially sunny day in 2017. A bit underwhelming as the skies remained reasonably bright throughout.

It's too bad that cloud cover will likely spoil today, as I probably won't be alive for the next total eclipse in Toronto, which is predicted for the year 2144.

Of course neither will you guys...

The last total eclipse in Toronto was in 1925.
