Will there be clouds during the eclipse?

As the total solar eclipse on August 12 approaches, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the weather conditions during the event. Meteorological experts note that while current models suggest a generally favorable scenario with clear skies over most areas, the precise position of the anticyclone will determine cloud formation. The Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) plans to issue a special weather forecast starting Friday, updating daily until the day of the eclipse. Experts like Rubén del Campo of AEMET and José Miguel Viñas of Meteored highlight that while high atmospheric stability and heat are expected, some mountainous regions might see cloud development, though whether this leads to thunderstorms remains unclear. Meteorologist Isabel Moreno emphasizes the difficulty in predicting such specific conditions but suggests the day will likely be warm and mostly sunny, except possibly in the Cantabrian region.
