A comment in another post inspired me to look at the temperature graph for
this morning during the eclipse. I quick look indicates that the
temperature continued increasing (it was morning after all and last night
was cold) but the rate of increased temporarily slowed at 10:00am, matching
the time of maximum magnitude of the eclipse (when the temperature was
10.7C).

During the August 1999 total eclipse in Cornwall (totality around 11:11 BST)
the temperature dropped around 2 degrees in Penzance, but started recovering
so after the eclipse became partial. That was with quite thick cloud. During
totality it actually felt much colder than it was.

We did get a quick glimpse of today's partial eclipse. I got a good photo of
the October 1996 partial eclipse, which was very similar to today's. It's on
