The UK will see a deep partial solar eclipse on Wednesday, 12 August 2026, with around 90% of the Sun covered across much of the country.
According to reports, the eclipse will be visible from Britain between roughly 6pm and 8pm BST, but the latest weather outlook suggests clouds could determine how much of the event people actually see. Southern England currently has some of the more favourable conditions, while parts of northern England and Scotland face a greater risk of clouds.
