Abstract
This short description of magnetic conditions existing during the total solar eclipse of June 19, 1936, is based upon a radio report from Watheroo Magnetic Observatory, upon magnetograms from the Huancayo Magnetic Observatory, both operated by the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and upon copies of magnetograms from the observatories at Cheltenham, Tucson, San Juan, and Honolulu kindly furnished by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.The total eclipse of June 19, 1936 began at 2h.9 GMT, and ended at 7h.9. A magnetic disturbance blanketed the total eclipse‐period. It began at 9h.7, June 18, and lasted until approximately 7h June 20. This magnetic disturbance was a magnified reappearance of a minor disturbance which had affected the magnetic elements at various multiples of 27 days previously, namely, March 24–28, April 21–25, and May 18–22.
