The Line Modern Art Walk (Stratford to North Greenwich) walk

Met Office Forecast

South East England

Scattered cloud and sunny spells. Cold overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers quickly easing this evening leading to a dry night, with any patchy cloud fading away. Feeling cold beneath the clearing skies with frost and areas of patchy fog possible by dawn. Minimum Temperature -2C.

Friday:

Another cold and sunny start, once early mist and fog lifts. Some fair weather cloud then likely to develop inland, however it will likely stay dry, with warm sunny spells. Maximum Temperature 12C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Dry with sunny spells and variable cloud through the weekend and Monday. Remaining cold overnight, with frost and fog patches. Daytime temperatures likely near normal for April.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

Cloud with outbreaks of increasingly light and fragmenting rain will continue to move south-eastwards across England and Wales during Tuesday. Rain likely to decay before reaching the far southeast where conditions will remain largely dry. During the middle of next week high pressure will become dominant again, with conditions turning drier and brighter, though with the chance of a few showers. Thereafter, widely settled conditions look likely to persist with all areas mainly dry with sunny spells and a chance of morning fog patches. Likely turning warmer, but overnight frosts are still possible in rural areas though not as widespread as this week. There is still potential for rain and strong winds to occur at times towards the northwest with the possibility of these unsettled conditions briefly spreading southeast.

Week 3 and 4:

Mixed weather patterns, typical of spring are most likely through the end of April and into May. Overall, fine and dry weather is expected to be most dominant, with fair-weather cloud and plenty of sunny spells. However, all areas are likely to see some showers or perhaps some longer spells of rain at times. Temperatures are likely to be close to average for the time of year, with the possibility of warmer spells at times.

Met Office : South East England : 2021-04-15T14:17:35

Daylight : London

Day length is dusk to dawn. Times will vary a little if there is a hill on the horizon.

It should still be light enough to read at dawn and dusk, so there will be enough light for walking even earlier (later).

Moonlight : London

Notes

• The moon's phase or fracillum (percentage of the moon illuminated) doesn't vary much with location.
• A full moon is not just bigger, its much brighter. A half moon ('50%') give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a half moon if its high in the sky (after dusk for a growing moon, before dawn for a shrinking moon).
• Sky glow (light reflected by air or clouds) from nearby cities, and especially snow on the ground also effect light levels.
• Times will vary a few minutes, as (i) these figures are for the centre of the county the walk is in, (ii) if there are hills on the horizon, and (iii) if you are on a hill
• Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!
