The first total solar eclipse of this year will take place today, but due to the night time, the solar eclipse will not be visible in Pakistan.

According to a foreign news agency, the solar eclipse will begin at 8:42 PM Pakistan time and end at 1:52 PM.

It is estimated that the solar eclipse will peak at 11:17 PM, but due to the night time, the solar eclipse will not be visible in the country.

The solar eclipse will be visible first in Mexico, then in other northeastern US states including Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, and the eastern provinces of Canada.

Experts said that the clear view of the eclipse can be witnessed from northern Arkansas to central Indiana, northern New England, parts of the mid-Atlantic and Southeast and California .

The National Weather Service, however, said that this is the area of greatest uncertainty due to potential high clouds.

A long-range forecaster Paul Pastelok said that clouds can break for some sunshine, just in time for the afternoon viewing from Chicago to Cleveland.

Weather experts forecast rain in Oklahoma, Texas, southern Arkansas, Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York.
