Jupiter red spot transit at half past midnight (BST) tonight (22 Jul) and the seeing should be better than of late. Jupiter is at max altitude at almost exactly midnight.
Beforehand you can catch the ISS flying over at 22:15 (BST)

...and again just before midnight, I think?
Indeed yes - it will fly over again whilst you're watching the red spot ...
We caught the earlier pass, but the clouds had it in for the later one and for the Great Red Spot...
Jupiter's red spot transits tonight (Sunday 27th July) at 23:39 BST - when Jupiter is pretty much at its max altitude.
ISS passes across, an hour beforehand, at 22:38 BST. Mag -2.5 reaching a max altitude of 79deg in the SSW
Hoping for clear skies ...
