There will be some gaps in the cloud in a channel running roughly from south Wales to Hull, according to Met Office forecasts. But the rest of the country will be covered by at least some cloud.Experts said earlier this week that a cold front is heading over the country, and could cover the view for many that were left in its trail. Then, meteorologists worried that the mist wouldn’t clear over the South East in time for the eclipse — those worries have been proven right, with cloud covering much of the South East including London until the afternoon, when the eclipse will have finished.
