Explanation:

* indicates that the station is within the zone of totality

Sunshine hours - the average number of hours per day in March with bright sunshine.

Percent of possible sunshine: The number of sunshine hours (described above) divided by the number of hours from sunrise to sunset at mid-month.Where independent values of the percent of possible sunshine are available, that value is given in the table. This statistic is one of the best measures of the probability of seeing the eclipse as it includes situations in which the sun may be shining through a thin cloud cover.

Percent frequency of (clear, scattered, broken, overcast and obscured) skies. While observing practices vary slightly from country to country, clear skies are those free of any cloud, scattered cloud is from 1 to 4 eights of cloud cover, broken ranges from 5 to 7 eights, and overcast and obscured conditions represent 8 eights of coverage. This cloud cover is the fraction of the sky covered by any cloud, not just opaque cloud. A sky may have broken cloud that is completely transparent (high level cirrus for instance). As such, the cloud statistics are pessimistic and almost all locations in the globe will have better eclipse weather than these columns imply.

Probability of seeing the eclipse: A simplistic calculation of the chances of seeing the eclipse based on a mean value of cloud cover for each category and the frequency of occurrence of the cloud. This column should be used to compare one site to another rather than as an absolute indication of success.

Percent of obs(ervations) with rain at eclipse time: the percent of time at which precipitaton was reported at the station. Observations are available at three hour intervals and the closest interval to the time of the eclipse was selected for the table.

Percent of obs(ervations) with TRW at eclipse time. TRW is the international code for thundershowers. Thundershowers, or any precipitating convective cloud, would not be expected to dissipate during the eclipse cooling.

Percent of obs(ervations) with obstructions to visibility at eclipse time. These obstructions include smoke, haze and dust but not fog.
