The best way to view the eclipse in Yorkshire is from an elevated location with a clear, unobstructed view towards the west. The Sun and Moon will appear close to the horizon before sunset.
Because the Sun will be very low in the western sky, finding a suitable viewing spot could be challenging in some parts of Yorkshire, according to Higgins.
“If we were a west coast county, we could all go to the beach and enjoy a clear, low horizon while watching the eclipse,” he said.
“Instead, you should find a vantage point with a clear western horizon, free from obstructions such as trees, buildings and hills.”
According to BBC climate correspondent Paul Hudson, the partial solar eclipse is expected to begin between approximately 18:12 and 18:19 BST.
The eclipse will reach its peak around an hour later before ending shortly after 20:00 BST, ahead of sunset.
Viewers should not worry if the eclipse is not immediately visible, Higgins added. Cloudy conditions do not necessarily mean the event will be missed.
“It is not suddenly going to whiz past and disappear. It is worth waiting around, just in case the clouds move away and the eclipse becomes visible.”
