The Met Office says the best place to see this weekend's partial solar eclipse under the clearest skies will be the southeasterly parts of the UK.
The partial solar eclipse begins at around 10am, lasting until midday, with the maximum point of eclipse – the best time to see it – being around 11am.
During the eclipse, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun, turning the Sun into a crescent shape, as though the Moon is taking a 'bite' out of it.
Eclipse glasses must be worn for the event, as you should never look at the Sun – eclipse or not – with the naked eye.
Best weather for the eclipse
What you'll see during the eclipse – i.e. how much of the Sun is covered by the Moon – depends on where you're observing from.
The places that will see more of the Sun eclipsed by the Moon are the northwesterly parts of the UK, such as the west coast of Scotland.
In southeasterly parts of the UK, observers will see less of the Sun being eclipsed by the Moon.
At the moment, however, the UK Met Office forecast is showing that the northwesterly parts of the UK will be most affected by cloud cover, while the southeasterly parts will be less affected by cloud cover.
By 10am on Saturday 29 March, when the eclipse starts, the forecast suggests most of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will be covered by cloud.
So too will most of Scotland and the eastern tips of the Welsh coast.
By 11am, during maximum eclipse, the southwesterly regions of England will have the clearest skies, says the Met Office, and therefore be the best places from which to observe the eclipse.
