There’s at least one television channel promising to give you a break from election coverage: the Weather Channel.

According to a press release, the Weather Channel promises to provide viewers glimpses at “the most beautiful, awe-inspiring, and calming weather video and scenery ever caught on tape” starting at 3. p.m. ET on Nov. 8.

The Weather Channel said they're running to footage to help everyone “escape the election.”

The nine-hour footage will reportedly include fall foliage, fluffy clouds, and even rainbows set to smooth jazz.

Weather Channel spokesman Bailey Rogers told USA Today this will be “the first time we’ve ever done anything like this.”

Unlike the results of the election, Rogers said the event is “guaranteed to evoke tranquility and set your soul at ease.”
