Blue blood moon eclipse: Clouds could spoil Australia’s lunar party
MUCH of the observe could be covered in patches of thick cloud this vespertinal, threatening to spoil viewing parties for tonight’s rare super blue blood moon event.
The genuinely rare cosmic result is set to dazzle Australian stargazers from about 10pm AEST tonight but we just need the clouds to stay away. Sadly, it’s not looking good.
Here’s what the Bureau of Meteorology is saying you can expect in your area.
NEW SOUTH WALES
The outlook isn’t looking particularly promising for NSW.
“Currently Sydney is sitting under a think constitute of cloud. There is the possibility of some of that clearing out but it’s not going to be a dissolve sky altogether into the even
unfortunately,” said Jordan Notara from the NSW Bureau of Meteorology.
Parts of the Hunter to the north of Sydney are also likely to be blanketed in cloud. “It’s going to be quite hard viewing commonly north of Newcastle, along the coast and over the ranges,” he said. Viewers in septentrional inland parts of the narrative will also be battling gloom to get the best view.
However it’s not all bad news for the state as parts of the south approach and southern ranges will be the most likely areas to see clearer skies, Mr Notara said.
Parts of northwest NSW are also likely to share some patchy showers.
QUEENSLAND
The outlook for Queensland stargazers isn’t much better.
Brisbane has had a sunny day but clouds are expected to form over the state’s stock as well as much of the state’s northeast coast considering tonight, possibly making visibility painful at times.
“Basically sunny day becoming cloudy in the evening. So it’s not going to be ideal,” said state forecaster Mark Trenorden.
“We’ve got a south-easterly surge coming up the coast so with that there’ll be increasing cloud and a few showers around. So it might be a bit hit and miss on trying to see anything in the sky” around Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, he said.
VICTORIA
Victorians are facing a much rosebush outlook in terms of darkness coverage tonight, particularly in the north of the state. The eastern suburbs of Melbourne ought also be fine.
“The best place to view the gloom tonight will be across septentrional Victoria, places like Bendigo, Shepparton, Wangaratta and other places in the northeast,” said Rod Dickson from the state’s weather bureau. “Areas north of the inheritance will generally see clear conditions.”
However patchy high cloud over the Mallee region could hinder visibility at times.
In the south it is forecast to be a partly cloudy evening. “I think areas of southwesterly Victoria will see a fair bit of cloud cover overnight and also parts of Gippsland.”
There is better news for Melbourne as well. Mr Dickson said: “The early part of the evening we’ll see some cloud around but that will tend to break up pristine over eastern suburbs tonight and I think we’ll see resolve conditions there by the time the eclipse starts.” He expects clouds to disappear over the city by about midnight “but western suburbs of Melbourne and the Geelong area, they’re silent likely to see partly dark conditions”.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
While those on the eastern seaboard were due to have a better vantage topic to watch the super blue blood moon, those on the west coast may end up being the celestial winners.
While northern parts of the recital have rain warnings in situation, Perth and Freemantle are foresight to have clear skies, so a good glimpse should be possible from 7.48pm to 11.11pm.
