Meteorologist Dale Destin has confirmed that Antigua and Barbuda will not have visibility of the upcoming solar eclipse.

He shared this with the public via the 268Weather Facebook page.

The total solar eclipse, lasting approximately an hour, will be visible mainly in parts of the US, Canada, and Mexico.

In the Caribbean, countries such as Jamaica, the Bahamas, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda will experience a partial eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the Sun’s face.

The first location in continental North America to experience totality will be Mexico’s Pacific coast at around 11:07 am PDT.

The total solar eclipse will cross North America on April 8, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The eclipse will enter Canada in Southern Ontario, continuing through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton, exiting continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at 5:16 pm NDT.

NASA notes that this will be the last total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States until 2044.
