<Li> 11 August 1999 <Ul> <Li> Total Solar Eclipse over Cornwall and part of south Devon , partial over the rest of the United Kingdom . Totality was observable from English Channel and the island of Alderney in the Channel Islands , but was almost universally clouded out on the British mainland . The clouds did clear in the Newquay area , though , allowing observation of full totality . A large partial eclipse was visible in the south - east of England and south Wales . Observers in various places noted birds falling silent , daylight colours turning to grey , and temperatures falling , augmented by a passing wisp of cloud at the moment of peak eclipse . </Li> </Ul> </Li>
