partial eclipse of the Sun this Saturday morning in U.K.

I saw it using the free Eclipse glasses from all those years ago….. I KNEW they would eventually come in useful!!!

It was visible this morning NW UK via a welders helmet!

Here in Oxfordshire I did notice that the sun was a bit less bright this morning despite a totally blue sky. I tried to see the reflection of the sun in a container of water but was unable to see it. I think that either the sun was too low in the sky or I am thick!!

I have ordered a pair of eclipse viewing glasses for future such events, only £6.69.

Lovely sunshine almost all week. This morning, horizon to horizon rain clouds.

A totally blue sky here in the south. Can’t honestly say that I noticed any difference in the light

It was cloudy here so thank you, Jaxjacky

Oh Duh!! Senior moment.
Il tell DH, he's got a telescope.

Ps on no account should we look at the sun through a telescope! It is to project the sun's partial eclipse on to white card.

Thanks for info, beautiful and sunny here in the South so we should see it.

Why is it that whenever there's a "sky event" the clouds build up here on the Angus coast and all is obscured?! Sod's Law I suppose. However I've just looked at my trusty (well, almost) weather app and I see that the day of rain promised is now an afternoon of rain, so all may not be lost after all 🤞

Well, of course it was cloudy here.
But no rain, we need rain.

The Sun?
Not before time !

Thankyou for the information. Hadnt noticed this before
