On Cocos Islands today the weather was reasonably clear for much of the day with some cloudy periods. Weather tomorrow is forecast as morning showers expected to clear later (hopefully in time for the 3:53 PM local time annular eclipse.
Eclipse people are here from US, UK, Germany, Canada, Switzerland. (I am not the only crazy one!)
Today was Australia Day celebrations – see the image for beach cricket under a sunny sky. (Celebrations a day early as tomorrow is one of the days of the twice weekly flights and many of the residents are involved with the operations of the airport.) Fabulous tropical atoll, gorgeous beaches, crystal clear water, waving palm trees, friendly aussies. All we ask for is some clear skies for tomorrow. Wish us luck.
