Question by Ted: What area of the August 2017 solar eclipse has the least average yearly cloud cover?
I am planning to view the Solar eclipse on August 21 2017 but want to view it from a location that is unlikely to have cloud cover on the day of the eclipse.
This site has maps of the path of totality for the eclipse

I am trying to find the sunniest location for the eclipse based on yearly averages of sun and clouds for different locales.
Can you find websites that show average cloud cover for these areas during August?
Best answer:
Answer by John BMy vote is for Idaho. August in the Pacific Northwest is generally nice, but Idaho has hotter, drier days - less clouds.

Follow: @SlateViral, Facebook.com/SlateVideo Watch: YouTube.com/Slatester, SlateV.com Keep your eyes to the skies this weekend—a special solar eclipse is headed our way. The annular eclipse, which has the moon getting directly in the way of our view of the sun on Sunday, is the first of its kind since 1994. But it won't be a total eclipse because the moon is closer to Earth than usual; instead you'll see a ring of fire around the moon. The phenomenon happens twice a year, but is usually only visible by a small fraction of the Earth's surface. This eclipse will be visible in China and Japan on May 21 and for the first time in 18 years by continental western states, California, Nevada, and Arizona, but not the East Coast, where the sun will have already set. Those in the Northeast will have to wait for the total eclipse in 2017. For those who will get a glimpse of the annular eclipse this weekend, though, don't forget mom's advice. If you don't have a solar filter, a pinhole projector, or some special solar-safe viewing glasses, you better refrain from staring—otherwise the next eclipse might be a lot harder to see.
