Met Office Forecast

South East England

Dry and frosty with clear spells overnight. Mainly fine Monday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Dry with clear spells and light winds through the evening and overnight. These clear spells most widespread in the south, where temperatures are forecast to fall below freezing allowing a sharp frost to form. Minimum Temperature -3C.

Monday:

A cold and mainly clear start, but the overnight frost soon clearing. Then a dry and fine day with plenty of sunny spells. Cloudier in far north later. Maximum Temperature 10C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Generally dry and bright with sunny spells Tuesday. Wet and windy Wednesday with persistent and occasionally heavy rain. Very windy Thursday, with heavy, blustery showers and coastal gales.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

Staying unsettled and often windy into the start of this period. All areas are likely to see showers or longer spells of rain at times. Some snow is likely over northern hills. Western areas will be wettest with eastern areas seeing more prolonged, drier interludes. Temperatures around average. Into the following week there is a chance of more settled, drier and brighter conditions in southern areas, but overall, most are likely to observe alternations between wet and rainy weather, interspersed with settled conditions. There remains a potential for strong winds, with these most likely across the west and northwest of the UK. Temperatures are expected to remain around average with overnight frosts still possible, especially during settled interludes.

Week 3 and 4:

Into the latter part of March, unsettled conditions are likely to be increasingly confined to the north and west of the UK, with the south and east probably seeing more settled conditions. Into the beginning of April, there is a chance that the settled conditions will become more widespread to bring some drier spells of weather for most. Temperatures are most likely to remain near to or slightly above average, with any colder or cooler intervals short-lived.

Met Office : South East England : 2021-03-07T14:13:30

Daylight : Buckinghamshire

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 : Buckinghamshire

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!
