If we could get clear skies it could be a super 5 minute viewing. So here's hoping.

Patchy cloud here in Belfast. We might be able to see it.

No chance in my neck of the woods, rain and sleet starting to fall !

So far it is clear here in Leics.

That was a super view here in Leics and my grandson 9 is over for a sleep over and he was thrilled.

It's drizzling here, I've not seen it at all this time round.

Afraid it was raining here. But we desperately need the rain.

wendilla - after my earlier post, the weather cleared in time and I saw it - brilliant ! Also, there are two very bright stars in the sky at the moment. One is Venus, but not sure about the other - Jupiter ?

[wendilla]

Jupiter and venus and as the week goes on they will be closer.
