Met Office Forecast

South West England

A dry night leads into a fine Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Dry overnight with winds easing. Prolonged clear intervals allowing temperatures to dip into low single figures for some rural locations, perhaps with a risk of grass frost in places. Minimum Temperature 2C.

Saturday:

A chilly start to Saturday but temperatures quickly recovering. Mostly fine and dry all day and feeling pleasantly warm in lengthy sunny intervals and light winds. Maximum Temperature 20C.

Sunday to Tuesday:

Rather cloudy but with bright spells and largely light winds. An increasing risk of showers, the odd one of which may be heavy. Feeling cooler with some chilly nights.

UK: day 6-7 and week 2:

Northern regions likely to see showers on Wednesday, but remaining mostly dry elsewhere, with a possible isolated shower in the south. Temperatures remain cooler in the north but likely to move to near normal in the south, and winds are expected to be light to moderate. Through this period, unsettled weather may continue, with showers or longer spells of rain possible. Over the weekend, a high pressure system may bring more settled weather, potentially in the west and southwest, where temperatures may be rather warm. Cloudier conditions and showers remain in the east and northeast. Temperatures may be above average for the southwest, but likely to be rather cool in the northeast. These conditions may continue into mid-June, with temperatures becoming above average.

UK: week 3 and 4:

As we move further into June, there is an equal chance of wet or dry conditions, but temperatures likely to be above average for most.

Met Office : South West England : 2022-05-27T14:32:54

Daylight : Somerset

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 : Somerset

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!
