Can you use a welding helmet to look at the eclispe without burning your corneas?
Somebody teased y'all by saying we were done with the 90's. I checked my station data for the month and it said we have had 6 days in a row of 90 or over, with yesterday bumping 98. Just to verify I plugged in to an archive site for Athens weather for August thus far and here's what I found.
NASA / NOAA says that any welding goggles or helmets have to have a shade rating of a #12 at a minimum to look at the eclipse but highly recommends a #13 or #14 ideally.Can you use a welding helmet to look at the eclispe without burning your corneas?
We will start to cool off within the next several weeks. October looks promising for cooler temps.

Just trying to do my good deed for the day.NASA / NOAA says that any welding goggles or helmets have to have a shade rating of a #12 at a minimum to look at the eclipse but highly recommends a #13 or #14 ideally.
I've heard others recommend higher shade ratings, but good luck finding them.
Thanks for the info.
Well duhhh.

Summer isn't over yet folks. In fact this is typically the hottest period of the summer. Heed these warning signs, drink plenty of water and do not push yourself, or others if you are a rec league or school coach.
I think I am moving to the North pole 6o for highs 40 for low.
You might want to double check that data.
Northpole Alaska not Santa claus North pole. Thank for catching that.He would probably put me to work anyway.
Which is nowhere near even the northern boundaries of Alaska
I like the Prudhoe Bay temps and forecast better.
