Sick of the election? Can’t bear to watch what happens Tuesday?

The Weather Channel is here to help. For nine hours, the cable channel will broadcast “the most beautiful, awe-inspiring and calming weather video and scenery ever caught on tape.”

It could be just what you need to sink into a state of sweet bliss, helping to forget all about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump... at least until you change the channel.

The network said:

“This election night, as other networks go low, The Weather Channel goes high... to the sky that is. Clouds! Rainbows! Autumn Splendor! And...yes...smooth jazz! Weather will have it all in a 9-hour chill marathon guaranteed to evoke tranquility and set your soul at ease.”

A Weather Channel spokesperson told USA Today that the network will interrupt the calming footage if severe weather strikes somewhere in the country. Otherwise, election-free coverage begins at 3 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and runs until midnight.

If the election is not over by then, you’ll probably need more than the Weather Channel to get you through whatever happens next.
