"Chasing Eclipses: Safety Tips and Sensations"

The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 will cause changes in temperature, wind speed, and humidity as the moon crosses in front of the sun, casting a shadow on Earth's surface. The eclipse will block the entire sun in a 115-mile wide path from Texas to Maine, known as the path of totality, with cities like Dallas and Buffalo experiencing the phenomenon. The reduction in solar radiation during the eclipse will affect temperatures, humidity levels, wind, and cloud cover, with the eclipse-cooled air leading to a brief drop in temperatures and reduced wind speeds. This eclipse is the only chance to see a total solar eclipse from the Lower 48 for the next two decades.
