Aemet updates weather forecasts for solar eclipse

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has updated its weather forecast for the total solar eclipse occurring on August 12. Regions have been identified where low clouds could obstruct views of the astronomical phenomenon, potentially affecting the experience for observers.

The phenomenon will cross the Iberian Peninsula from west to east, including the Balearic Islands, with an estimated half a million eclipse tourists expected to arrive in these provinces. Visitors are advised to exercise caution, particularly in rural and mountainous areas due to the extreme risk of wildfires from rising temperatures, according to reports from Infobae.

Aemet has urged citizens to stay alert for weather updates, as visibility of the eclipse could be compromised in some areas due to weather conditions.
