The celestial event will see the sun obscured by the moon by as much as 47% in the UK.
While this will be most visible in Europe, parts of south-eastern Canada will also be lucky enough to get some sightings.
What causes a solar eclipse? Everything to know
Solar eclipses are caused when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, allowing for our nearest star to be partially or totally obscured.
A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the centre of the moon's shadow misses the planet.
These take place in the northeastern United States, eastern Canada, Greenland, Europe and parts of north-west Africa.
When to see the partial solar eclipse in the UK this March
Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the partial solar eclipse in the UK will only need to wait until Saturday, March 29.
The greatest extent of this eclipse will be around 10:48am UTC and GMT.
What is the Met Office's long-range weather forecast amid the upcoming solar eclipse?
According to the Met Office, wetter weather is to be expected across much of the country over the remainder of the month, bringing heavy rain and strong winds.
This is expected to "quieten down" next week, seeing "above average" temperatures at the start of this period.
However, this warm spell could begin fluctuating again, seeing more unpredictable conditions until the start of April.
The partial solar eclipse will be visible over the UK on Saturday, March 29, 2025.
