Good morning everyone! ?Happy International Astronomy Day!
We hope you are as excited as we are for today’s event at east end Chapters near Ogilvie road ! ?Here’s a weather update… The rain has ended but we expect a good amount of cloudiness to linger this morning, as we gradually setup on site. ?By early afternoon (about 1pm onwards), the frequency of clear skies is expected to increase, and we hope to be able to do solar observing. ?There is a small chance of a scattered thundershower by mid afternoon. ?I would recommend bags, tarps or blankets to cover equipment just in case we get some precipitation. ?Otherwise, by about 3pm onward, it is expected to be mostly sunny and clear! ?The numbers of telescopes and displays will likely increase as the weather improves throughout the day. ?Mostly clear skies are expected this evening and tonight for our main observing session until 10pm! ?Temperature high this afternoon is 24C, therefore we recommend wearing a hat, putting on sunscreen and having plenty of fluids if you’ll be staying a while.
So to recap, weather should gradually improve as the day goes on. ?We will setup on site gradually a bit later this morning. ?And we expect a nice sky this afternoon and evening!
Looking forward to seeing you there! ????
