Is it worth going out?
Worth a look with eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector, especially around 09:34. At 77.4% most people would not notice the dimming without them.
Never look at the partly covered Sun without eclipse glasses that meet ISO 12312-2. In this city there is no totality, so you need them the whole time. How to tell if your glasses are safe.
