The 12 August solar eclipse remains a major celestial event, with UK views ranging from 90% to 95% coverage in the south‑west. Observers are urged to use eclipse glasses and safe viewing methods as authorities emphasize ongoing safety measures. A separate lunar eclipse and the Perseids meteor shower are also confirmed for August, shaping travel and viewing plans.
The Buck Moon has peaked this evening with clear conditions predicted in the south and east. The Moon appears full to the naked eye and will be visible across much of the country as storms are expected to stay away.
