Partial eclipse starts at 11:56

The Danish Met Institute's (DMI) webpage on tomorrow's (actually, today's) eclipse has a great animated GIF of the path of totality across central Africa, the Middle East and Southern Europe, and central Asia. It starts at 11:56 in Denmark, reaches maximum solar coverage of 27% at 12:51 and will be over by 13:45. The webpage is in Danish, but the GIF is universally understandable.

Update at 18:11 - There was cloud in Denmark. Thick, thick cloud. So much for THAT astronomical experience ... The next eclipse visible from Denmark is on 1st August 2008 and it's another partial one.
