South West England

Widely cloudy with patchy light rain in the southwest.

  • A misty morning with hill fog lingering across the Moors beneath a blanket of low cloud
  • Some brighter breaks may develop this afternoon but remaining largely overcast for many with light winds and patchy light rain in the far southwest
  • Maximum Temperature 15C

Tonight:

  • Light rain persisting in the southwest through this evening beneath a thick layer of low cloud
  • Widely cloudy elsewhere with light and variable winds overnight
  • Minimum Temperature 8C

Wednesday:

  • Another cloudy day with persistent hill fog thick enough across the southwest to produce the odd spot of light rain
  • Some brighter breaks further east but remaining largely overcast
  • Maximum Temperature 17C

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

  • A settled end to the week
  • Widely cloudy with the odd spot of light rain on Thursday, turning brighter and breezier on Friday with some sunny spells developing on Saturday

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • Mainly cloudy with some patchy light rain and drizzle moving southeast on Saturday morning
  • Sunny spells will develop to the west of this, although further rain will probably reach some parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland by the end of the day
  • This rain will spread southeast through Sunday while becoming increasingly light and patchy
  • Into the following week, a good deal of settled weather across the UK as high pressure builds back in
  • Most places should be dry, although some patchy light rain or drizzle could affect the far north at times
  • Light winds may allow overnight fog to form, this slow to clear during the day
  • Temperatures will probably be above average overall, although with some cold nights possible
  • By mid-month, possibly turning a little more unsettled

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Probably an unsettled spell for a time at the start of this period with some wet and maybe windy weather for parts of the UK, more so in central and southern areas
  • Low confidence by late November and early December, with uncertainty whether unsettled, wetter weather or drier and more settled conditions will dominate
  • Temperatures will probably be close to or above average overall, although some colder interludes are possible, especially in the north

Notes

  • The percentage of the moon which is illuminated doesn't vary much with location.
  • A full moon is not just bigger, it is much brighter. A quarter moon (1/2 disk visible) give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a quarter 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!

Dorset weather (Accuweather)

Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.
