This is mine! Built it quickly in 2024 for the US eclipse [1] and finished minutes before totality started.

I completely forgot about it until a friend asked this morning. Coordinating a DDOS on cameras across Iceland and Spain was not on my to-do list for today.

Fingers crossed it doesn't break for you all - I will be watching it with my own eyes this time.

For mallorca, a lot of the cameras are pointing in the wrong direction and many of the ones pointing in the right direction are missing. Just from a quick glance at this map:

Thanks for this tho! Didn’t think of checking for cameras!

How did you find all these cameras? Am I stupid?

Incredibly cool! Thank you for making this.

Some of the webcams doesn't work, for example in Torreblanca, Castellón. I guess it's normal

does openstreetmap have a realtime weather layer perhaps that can be turned on to see who is going to be affected by cloudcover?
