Default Not a chance to see the lunar eclips....

of the British Isles?
I suppose you have more chances of clear spells, particularly Ireland,
Scottish westcoast, North-west England and Wales?

To all the lucky ones: enjoy the sight :-).


I guess we were quite lucky in Athens then! Skies cleared out a few minutes
before the start of the eclipse and high clouds emerged only a few minutes
after the end of the event! The afternoon was quite thundery so there was
not much hope there would be such a nice interlude of fair weather just when
it would be needed before tomorrow's deterioration. Perfect conditions for
the first evening out in the veranda with friends, decent food, drinks and a
lovely view to the moon.
