The Wednesday-Thursday one, which a couple of days ago was supposed to cross the area quickly and bring welcome low humidity for Thursday, but now is supposed to hang up over the area for a whole day at least.

At some point today the suns direct rays will move from the northern hemisphere into the Southern Hemisphere. I think I read that it occurs at 3:20. So I’m wondering where on the equator the sun will be at 90° at 3:20. They can give the exact path of a solar eclipse so I’m sure this info is out there somewhere. I just can’t find it lol.

It will be along the equator in the eastern Pacific because at 3:21pm edt/ 12:21pm pdt the sun will be west of South America and southeast of Hawaii.

I just can’t find it lol. 3:21pm is when it officially happens for us. So, if I understand how equinox works correctly, that is when the suns rays are exactly perpendicular to the equator, where it is 12hrs day 12hrs night split evenly on the earth. Then the shift slowly happens between now and the winter solstice to be in the southern hemisphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Thanks. I know they know the exact spot because I’ve heard them say it on the weather channel before. I just can’t find it. Your explanation is solid.

WinterWxLuvr Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I used the NOAA solar calculator to find it as best I could. If I am using the calculator correctly, the direct rays of the sun will cross the equator at lat O (obviously lol) and -136.93359 long. This is in the pacific about halfway between Hawaii and San Francisco, on the equator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
