Everything you need to know to see this show in the sky. Look at the cloud cover map for this afternoon and today.
The big day has arrived! This Saturday, October 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse will occur. This is a very special astronomical event because when it occurs, few areas of the planet are able to see the full annular solar eclipse, when almost the entire solar disk is darkened, with one edge illuminated, as if it were a ring of fire.
So that you can see this show safely (pay attention to eye protection!), Climatempo has prepared this complete guide. Here’s where, when, how and other little things like cloud forecasts! After all, solar eclipses can only be seen during the day.
LIVE from the annular solar eclipse
This Saturday, from 3pm (Brasilia time), the Climatempo site will be LIVE, with the broadcast of the annular solar eclipse, in collaboration with Professor Marcos Calil, of Momento Astronômica.
Marcos Calil is there in the hinterland of Ceará, directly from Juazeiro do Norte, with special equipment to broadcast this eclipse.

As could not be missed, Climatempo brings here the cloudy forecast for this Saturday afternoon, which will directly influence the visibility of the event. A few clouds will not interfere with watching the show, but if the sky is full of clouds, you will have to be lucky that they are not in front of the sun right at the time of the show. show.

Very important: eye protection
Eye protection when enjoying a solar eclipse is extremely important. Direct vision, without protection, even for just a few minutes, even in the midst of many clouds that obstruct the view, can cause serious damage to the eyesight. Some problems appear over time and not immediately.
So, use these infographics to guide you and make a safe observation.
