Errrrr.... RW me dear, it's not a Total Eclipse in CY, just a partial one.

...oops, right you are.

Saw a total one in the UK in 1999, it was pretty awesome!

[Get Real!]

2.5 degrees (outside) and snowing in Nicosia!

It is ten degrees here in Limassol, and I am shivering with a heater on in the room! (I am not sure what that has to do with an eclipse, though.)

Saw that one and a second one on a Greek island in 1986.

Saving up for a third one in America in a couple of years time.

few years back there was a partial eclipse of the sun in girne. i was lucky enough to be there sitting by the karaoglanoglu beach

Here's a graphic of the extent of totality of the 20 March eclipse (the red area in the map) ...

CY will see up to 40% of the Sun's disc covered.

Northern Scotland will get up to 90%.

Those who wish to experience totality will need to travel to somewhere like the Faroe Islands.

Max coverage in CY is around 10 00h (UT), Noon CY Time.

Here in London, around 09 30h (UT).

(The usual warning - don't look at the Sun without using safety filters... !!! (unless you're observing from Occupied Kyrenia)

[Lordo]

girne is occupied, since when.
