Jersey warns: stay out of the sea during partial eclipse due to rip currents
RNLI Jersey urged people to avoid swimming during the partial solar eclipse as swells increase and strong rip currents are expected around St Ouen's Bay; lifeguard patrols end at 18:00 BST, with eclipse viewing from 18:21 to 20:10. Viewers are advised not to look at the sun without proper glasses, and to use the float-to-live technique if in trouble, calling 999 for Jersey Coastguard if needed.
