In much of the UK, clear skies should give many a good view of the eclipse. However, across some parts of north Wales, northern England and especially Scotland and Northern Ireland, areas of cloud could move in between 18:00 and 19:00. Depending on the location, the total eclipse will peak between 20:26 and 20:33 local time (19:26 to 19:33 BST). Crowds have been flocking from all over the world to northern Spain for the event with half a million visitors expected, according to the finance ministry. "It is going to be a fantastic eclipse in Spain, we are right on the path of totality," he said.
