Lovely and clear, an hour ago but overcast now. However a nice clear ish slot just arriving in Driffield, just as I head into the doctors surgery.


Hi, David,
Good view here, thank goodness for the westerlies and Pennine cloud shadow. Plenty of blue sky and just enough stratus at times to view without shades.. Believe it or not it went dark! One of my outside security lights came on, but the birds continued to sing throughout. Noted, Copley birds sing during eclipses!
Temp fell by 1.6C and wind speed fell by 5KT. However, there would be many other factors influencing the weather.
