To observe the 2009 January 26 annular eclipse, I went to Indonesia in Anyer on the Banten western Java coast. The weather was quite pleasant during my 3-day stay. Nevertheless some thick clouds did spoil annularity (should have removed the solar filter), but not as much as those in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands where it was raining.
