UK’s Rare Solar Eclipse Alert | Aberdeen News
Description
Mark your calendars for August 12th — the UK is set for a rare partial solar eclipse, the most visible in 27 years, with the South West getting the best view as the moon covers up to 95% of the sun. While Europe’s core gets full coverage, the UK will experience eerie twilight. Timing is perfect for clear skies, but safety first: never look directly at the sun — even during an eclipse — without certified eclipse glasses. Regular sunglasses won’t cut it. The eclipse peaks at 7:16 PM in the South West, with viewing windows across the UK in the early evening. Also watch for the Perseid meteor shower peaking Aug 12-13 (up to 100 meteors/hour) and the Sturgeon Full Moon on Aug 28 — a time for reflection and gratitude.
