Monument Square is shown during the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. Although predictions included a heavy onslaught of tourists for the eclipse, with most government offices and all schools closed, the higher traffic was not a hindrance in most places of Champaign County as of 4 p.m. Monday. A light layer of clouds was not a significant obstruction to viewing the eclipse and temperatures were nearly 70 degrees in mid-afternoon before dropping briefly as skies darkened.
