The World’s Biggest Weather Experiment Linked to the Total Solar Eclipse of March 20 (+Video)
Scientists at the University of Reading are turning the skies of Britain into a giant weather experiment as the country experiences a solar eclipse later this month
The British Isles will be partially plunged into darkness at around 9.30am on Friday, 20 March 2015 as the country experiences a solar eclipse for the first time since 1999.
Meteorologists are planning the biggest eclipse weather experiment ever attempted. Now they are recruiting an army of citizen scientists across the UK to observe weather conditions such as clouds, wind and temperature.
The eclipse is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to gather the data, as there will not be another partial eclipse in the UK until 2026.
