Why exact coordinates matter in Oujda

Near the edge of the eclipse path, a relatively short move can change the duration noticeably. Do not assume every site labeled “Oujda” receives the same contact times. Check the final field, road access and horizon before committing.

If duration is your main priority, compare Tangier’s 4 minute 51 second window with the broader Morocco location matrix.

Practical viewing plan

  • Inspect the site in daylight and prioritize an unobstructed southeastern sky.
  • Arrive before the partial phase and avoid a long eclipse-morning drive.
  • Keep more than one reachable site in case cloud, access or traffic changes.
  • Use reputable solar viewers during every partial phase; remove them only during totality.

Historical August 2 cloudiness is listed at about 7%, but that is climatology—not a forecast. Use current forecasts during the final days.
