Cloud & Eclipse

Doing a bit of aimless web wandering I came across this interesting (to me) article.

Didn’t work out for Cornwall in 1999 but that might be as the article points out the impact is not seen over water and Cornwall is surrounded by the stuff. I experienced exactly that phenomenon at my location in France during the same eclipse. Cloudy at first contact. Completely clear by totality.

Solar eclipses don't last long, this must be fast acting to make a difference in the time available during an eclipse. Also annoying that it didn't work out in Cornwall in 1999, I was there!
