It’s completely clear, here, today. The sun is up and it will go up to 17C! Soaking it up on the balcony at the moment.

But I just looked, and they are predicting partly cloudy starting at 3pm… groan, when the total eclipse is happening (15:26) 😐

46% in south florida. we will begin seeing a partial eclipse at 1:47 p.m. with a mid-eclipse peaking at 3:02 p.m. The sun will be back in full view by 4:02 p.m.

Conspiracy people are all over the place.. monday morning has always been strange.

Here the darkness is already falling and it will hold until about 6 tomorrow morning.
And we aren't even experiencing an eclipse.
America: so much fuzz about nothing really. ;)

I hope you all have a great view.
Enjoy and don't forget your emergency package (a torch, an icetea and a bag of vanilla flavored chips) for just in case.

I'm in a 90 - 95% coverage area but sadly it's just wall to wall clouds here, so no observing it directly. Getting nice and dark out there though. Local maximum in about 15 minutes!

Watching it online of course.

Only had a partial where I am, but just had the fullest period pass over around 3:30pm. Cool watching everything get kinda dark, and then not in a few minutes flat.

One of the most interesting things about watching the eclipse on the livestreams is how instantly blinding-bright the light is when just the barest hair's breadth of the Sun is uncovered.

We had cloud cover but could see the darkness creep in, then never go away, then get darker, and now rain is falling, it is still darker. The sun is gone. When will the liberal media admit that the sun is gone?

You obviously got stuck in the void. Just log off and back into Minecraft, and go through again.
