Looks like it might be raining here (UK). I have a bad effect on eclipses; I went to Iceland and it was foggy, I went to Munich and it was cloudy.

In case that sounds too down, it was still spectacular in Munich even if it did cloud up at the last minute.

Thanks - I was meaning to post and I forgot...

North UK should get ~1/3 coverage, I think, about 10.15am.

Humph! It's so cloudy here, the sun could be dancing a polka and no one would be any the wiser. :(

Interesting that it's going to be visible in China just before the Olympics too. The inauspicious portents are building up and up.

Oh bother, I forgot it was on. Though I remember thinking it clouded over around that time.
