Some types of clouds dissipate right before an eclipse then come back shortly thereafter

Really? I never heard that before. Do they know why?

I do not actually know, nor do I know if that is true, but if it is, I suspect it would have to do with temperature differentials due to the sun temporarily shutting off.
