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.

They were talking about it on Radio 5 Live this morning with somebody
from academia (didn't catch the name) and they want people to record
temperature, wind etc and send in the results.

I know that in the COL Bulletin there is a request for monitoring data
for a few hours before and after the eclipse.

Worthwhile recording the reaction of animals and especially birds too. The one thing that stands out about the once in a lifetime experience of standing on Teignmouth beach and watching the 1999 total, was the fact that thousands of seabirds headed out to sea as the eclipse approached totality. Quite incredible.
