Affects the pace of wind
Since solar eclipse affects the gravitational pull on Earth, it also slows down the pace of wind, affecting the tides. It not only affects the pace of wind but also alters the direction of wind. Suzzanne Gray who works with the department of Meteorology in UK conducted an experiment to measure the effect of eclipse on Wind rate. It was found that the rate of wind decreased by an average of 0.7 m/s and also turned anticlockwise by 17 degrees. These reading correspond to the measurements made in the year 1999 with the use of state of the art Met office weather forecast Model. Decrease in the temperature
It is most likely that the temperatures drop during an Eclipse. The reason being the shadowing of Sun by Moon and also the amount of light reaching the Earth’s surface reduces considerably. The pace of wind gets reduced which adds to the decrease of temperature.
