To witness a spectacular solar eclipse you need to be in the right place at the right time. Here's some guidance on how to interpret solar eclipse maps.
There are two things everyone reading a solar eclipse map needs to know about the path of totality/annularity:The longest duration of totality/annularity anywhere on the path is in the center as it travels from west to east. It's often shown as a star or otherwise indicated. Technically speaking this is the 'best' place to view the eclipse because it's from here that totality/annularity will last the longest and from where the eclipse will take place highest in the sky.
The map above shows the average percent of cloud cover for the path of totality in April, with blue meaning it's likely to be clear, green meaning 50/50 and orange meaning it's likely to be cloudy. Maps like this could and should help you make a decision about where to go and also set your expectations, but it's only a prediction based on the law of averages. There's a saying among eclipse-chasers:"Climate is what you expect, but weather is what you get.
