Im guessing this is one where the suns altitude needs to be pretty high - so maybe we dont get it in the UK?

https://en.wikipedia...mhorizontal_arc

 

"Apart from the presence of ice-containing clouds in the right position in the sky, the halo requires that the light source (Sun or Moon) be very high in the sky, at an elevation of 58° or greater. This means that the solar variety of the halo is impossible to see at locations north of 55°N or south of 55°S."

 

Southampton UK = 50°54′09″N 01°24′15″W

 

So, you COULD see it ... best of luck!
