I've marked this as 'OT' but obviously the weather is very relevant!
I've only just found out this is happening at all and it's going to be
a major event. No totality across the UK of course that passes to the
north of Scotland but here it looks like being around 90%. IIRC Aug
1999 was something like 94% so the events will be comparable.


No not comparable, there is a massive difference in terms of output of heat
and light between 90 and 94%.


Careful Will, you replied to me there!

Actually a little more digging revealed that Aug 1999 was 93% and Mar '15 will be 91% so rather closer but going by what you say it will still be quite a difference.
