Faversham to Whitstable walk

Met Office Forecast

South East England

Cloudy with some morning rain. Brighter in afternoon with showers.

Today:

A cloudy start to Sunday morning with a band of rain spreading southwards. This will turn showery with some bright or sunny spells by the afternoon. Some heavy showers are likely possibly thundery. Winds mainly light. Maximum Temperature 22C.

Tonight:

Evening showers fading quite quickly to leave a fine night with a few clear spells, with variable amounts of cloud. Light winds. Minimum Temperature 12C.

Monday:

Monday starting dry and bright before cloud builds to give some slow-moving showers by the afternoon and these may again be heavy with a risk of thunder. Maximum Temperature 21C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Tuesday and Wednesday mainly fine with some sunshine but increasing risk of showers each afternoon. Breezier and cloudier by Thursday with showers or longer spells of rain.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

The unsettled, changeable conditions continue to dominate the picture for the first half of August. A mixture of sunny spells and showers, with some drier interludes, is the general pattern expected at the start of August for all. Some of these showery spells may merge to give slightly longer spells of rain. At first, scattered showers for most, with some thunderstorms likely to develop from these. Torrential downpours are likely in some places. Winds generally remaining breezy, with temperatures expected to be near to average, perhaps slightly above average in northern areas. Towards the middle of the month, it will likely turn more settled, though a few showers cannot be ruled out, especially in southeastern areas. Becoming drier than recently, with sunny spells for most temperatures trending above average.

Week 3 and 4:

Whilst there are current signals of a drier and warmer than average period from the middle of August, occasional spells of more unsettled weather, primarily in the northwest, remains possible. Accompanying this is a low risk of short-lived thundery spells, these mainly in southeastern parts. Confidence through this period remains low at present. However, most should see dry and fine weather. Above average temperatures continue to be indicated through the remainder of August, with possibly even very warm conditions at times in southern areas.

Met Office : South East England : 2021-08-01T02:54:34

Daylight : Kent

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 : Kent

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!
