Here in Edinburgh, it's usually always cloudy or overcast at the time when there is a major astronomical event which is worth seeing but I suppose the law of average tells us my luck in that regard has to change at some point in time.

Still, it's definitely significant. I remember the large partial eclipse in March 2015 and so it will be comparable to that. At the height of it, it will feel noticeably cooler and feel a bit like a dull December day.

If time allows I'd try and get yourself on an earlier flight to maximise the day - they sometimes have late cancellations if you ask.

Is fog an issue this time of year? I went in the summer back in 2002 or so with my dad, we flew out on a helicopter (great fun, first time I'd been in one) and had a ferry booked back in the evening. However fog rolled in around lunchtime and all flights and ferries were cancelled! We went all over the place trying to find a room for the night and ended up having to share a bedroom in a guest house, we managed to get the last room they had (for £200...). I ended up sleeping on the floor in the bathroom...

It was still misty the following day but the ferry sailed, thank goodness. I've not been back!

Sounds like you had a pretty rotten experience! It's very rare for both the boat and the helicopter/planes to be cancelled at the same time. Fog doesn't stop the boat these days.

As for fog - it's fairly common through mid May to mid June when the sea is still cool and that's when you tend to get most issues. At this time of year it's less common though the odd cancellation does happen in August. 

1715 A total solar eclipse is seen in England. Another total solar eclipse has not been seen in London since, and will not be seen for another 600 years.

Also to note is that maximum eclipse with occur when the sun is lowish in the sky and this will have an impact on light levels. The eclipse will be darker than if the same eclipse had occur at solar noon (sun's highest position) that same day.  So even if there is cloud blocking, there will be a notable drop in light levels in and around maximum. It will be almost like there are two sunsets that day. Another factor is the clarity of the air, as we know a lot of pollutants, aerosols in the air can scatter a lot of light making the sun appear redder as the sun heading towards sunset or spectacularly  with the "Hurricane Sun" caused by the remains of Ophelia in October 2017.

If the sun is not hidden by clouds near maximum, the shadows cast are going to be very interesting, there could be a lot of thin crescents casts also shadows that are vertical such as telegraph poles will appear a lot sharper.

The eclipse will be darker than the 20th March 2015 eclipse at least for my location

Great post and good to see you back.

The main takeaway from that was just how much light there was just before the shadow of the moon shot across the bay. 

The weather seems to be playing ball for most too!

Jerusalem's last saw a total solar eclipse in 1153....the next one.....2241!   A gap of 1088 years.

2151-1715 isn't 600, so their maths is a bit out!

Hoping to see an actual full eclipse in southern Spain next summer. Pretty much guaranteed clear blue skies for it. 

Actually it will be interesting to see what the light levels are at the start of the match. Dublin will be almost 94% at around 7.10 pm 

I'm not seeing too much showery activity around according to the latest radar maps other than a clump of showers to our NW which is well away from the direction from which the wind is blowing. As a result, I'm not too concerned about that but we do need to get rid of at least some of that cloud cover if we are to have a decent chance of being able to see that eclipse here in Edinburgh.

It should be light enough inside the ground as the floodlights will no doubt be on, but I will imagine that it could be quite dark within the vicinity of the ground as this match is being played in the Republic of Ireland which is much closer to the path of totality than we all are here in the UK.
