New surprisingly
...with 92% coverage the sun was still too blinding to look at. The light partook of the strange blue tinge I first saw on 11 September 1969, but what struck us most was that half an hour into the eclipse the sunlight, notwithstanding the blue tinge, remained bright but lost all warmth: we'd sat in the garden with the sun toasty on our exposed arms at the outset, but within thirty minutes it was all light and no heat (to transpose the cliche).

cordially,

New Overload vs. OVERLOAD
I suspect once you've crossed the threshold of "too bright to look at" that any more is just gilding the lily. Normal daylight must be orders of magnitude beyond that.
