People in the UK can also see the solar eclipse happening in the US next week
A total solar eclipse is set to span North America on Monday - from Mexico to the very eastern tip of Canada.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the Sun's rays from reaching the Earth.
A total solar eclipse occurs somewhere on Earth roughly every 18 months or so.
"With the partial solar eclipse occurring late in the day UK time, the Sun will be low to the horizon and will actually set before the spectacle is over," BBC Weather presenter Simon King said.
Experts recommend using solar eclipse glasses, which have a special filter that blocks damaging UV rays.
In Northern Ireland and western Scotland, where the Moon will eclipse around 20% of the Sun, the weather does not look ideal.
Audience members outside North America who want to see the total eclipse can catch our live coverage on the BBC website.
The UK's last total solar eclipse occurred in 1999.
The next partial solar eclipse which will be visible from the UK is expected on 29 March 2025, when 30 to 40% of the Sun's rays are expected to be blocked.
The next full solar eclipse in the UK isn't expected until 23 September 2090, according to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.
