Sunshine | hours | Mean daily sunshine for December |
Percent of Possible Sunshine | ratio | The ratio of mean daily sunshine hours to the length of the day from sunrise to sunset in mid December. This statistic is one of the most suitable for assessing the chances of seeing the eclipse. |
Mean Cloud Cover | 0.0 - 1.0 | Mean cloudiness as measured from ground-based stations. For Australian stations this is the value at 6 PM local time. For other sites, it is the mean cloudiness through the day. |
Precipitation Amount | mm | Average precipitation for December |
Mean days with rain | days | Average number of days in December with 0.2 mm of rain or greater |
Tmax | °C | Mean daily high temperature for December |
Tmin | °C | Mean daily minimum temperature for December |
Days with TRW | number | Average number of days in December with thunderstorms. |
Clear, scattered, broken, overcast | % | Percent frequency of days in December with each category of cloud cover at or close to eclipse time (within 2 hours). Scattered cloud refers to 1-4 tenths and broken to 5-9 tenths. |
Clear and scattered cloud | % | The sum of the percent number of days with clear and scattered cloud. Observers may observe thin clouds as either clear or scattered. Combining the categories reduces individual differences and affords a better comparison between stations. |
Days with Sky <3/10 and good visibility at eclipse time | number | The number of days in December at or close to eclipse time with less than 3-10ths cloud cover and visibilities better than 3 miles. This statistic is also a good measure of the relative cloudiness between stations. |
