Not Fair - pouring rain, nullified eclipse

Bah !!!

It is raining buckets. I can't tell if the dim light is because of the tropical squall or whether it's the solar eclipse.

solar eclipse 22 July 2009

Well it is 0425 hrs local time which is +8 hours GMT.

I am now at 103ยบ48´ East of Greenwich.

There was a strong wind with smokey smells 1.5 hours earlier ( Approx 0700 hrs local time ) followed by brief rain.

Right now, the sky is overcast, and the light appears dim, somewhat like sunrise on a cloudy morning.

expected window of eclipse at my destination =
08:40:51 to 09:43:55 in the morning
