The view west

Your skyline, from 5 m ground survey with the trees on top, and the sun across it from first contact to last.

iThe horizontal scale is compass bearing, the vertical is height above the horizon. The red band is totality. The dashed line is how far the sun clears your skyline at that moment, which is the clearance figure in the table above. It is measured from this trace, at the exact pin. A wall or a roof a few tens of metres away counts here, because the survey cannot tell one from a hillside; where that puts the picture at odds with the scored table, both figures are shown and the range of the obstruction is given, so you can see which applies to you.

Cloud on the sight line

20 points west, each read at the light's own height. Worst counts.

iThe sun is 5° up, so its light arrives almost sideways and crosses the sky far to the west before it reaches you. Close by it is still near the ground; 50 km out it is at aircraft height. Each point is read at the height the light passes through there. Cloud anywhere on that path hides the sun, whatever the sky above you looks like.

Cloud forecast, every model sight line

Worst reading along the ray, same axes on every chart.

iEach layer is sampled where the ray passes through it and the worst value is charted. A shaded span means that model has no data there, not clear sky. Low cloud hides a sun this low; cirrus dims the corona but does not hide it. Fetched by your browser on load.
