Partial Solar eclipse on August 11th.

Hi. Regret if I have missed an already opened thread. But I am slightly unsure if this will be visible in the Southern parts of The UK.

Nope. If you head to Shetland you'll get nearly 2% coverage for three quarters of an hour, or if you want to stay on the mainland you can get about 0.4% coverage for less than half an hour in John O'Groats, otherwise 10th June 2021 is your next one visible from the UK, and even then it's a pretty small partial eclipse.

Next good one is 12th Aug 2026, Majorca, Northern Spain or West of Iceland will see totality, the UK will see a major partial eclipse, similar to the views of 1999 total eclipse assuming you weren't in Cornwall at the time.

Thanks Ian. We went to Falmouth to experience the total in 1999.

Next two total solar eclipses are in South America, so a long way to go and see them?  As said before next good one for Europe is in 2026.
