You need a clear horizon to the south-east, so somewhere on the east coast would be the best bet. I'll be down at the beach somewhere - Islandmagee is just in the way from my house.

Good luck all - the weather may actually play ball this time!

Hi,
There are broken clouds here in Limerick at the moment, lets hope its stays like this. :)

As for the best place to see it, try a helicopter !

..... we have great weather today and it will remain so for the eclipse. Also, many archaeological grounds are open to the public until 1 AM specifically for the August full moon (annual event) and which of course coincides with this evening's eclipse.

If someone with bad weather can get a quick flight to Greece, anywhere in Greece, do so. The eclipse starts in about 4.5 hours.

Best of luck to everyone!

I just took a peek at a satellite weather map for Europe and a very good portion of the continent is coverered under some serious clouds. I didn't realize things were this bad! :ohmy:
