Faversham to Whitstable walk

Met Office Forecast

South East England

A fine, warm day for many. Rain arriving later.

Today:

Dry this morning with light winds and good sunny periods. Turning cloudier by the afternoon with the chance of some rain reaching northern parts by early evening. Feeling rather warm, especially in the south. Maximum Temperature 22C.

Tonight:

Cloudy and becoming humid and rather wet overnight with outbreaks of rain or drizzle edging southwards, reaching the south coast by morning. Fairly breezy for a time in the south. Minimum Temperature 12C.

Wednesday:

A muggy and mostly cloudy day, with intermittent spells of rain and drizzle through much of the morning. Drier into the afternoon with some brighter spells developing in the east. Maximum Temperature 20C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Mainly cloudy and humid again with outbreaks of rain on Thursday. Fresher by Friday with sunny spells and a few showers. Bright and fairly breezy, but dry Saturday.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

Isolated light showers in the north to start, but elsewhere looking dry with bright or sunny spells. Winds staying light and temperatures rather cool to average. Looking further ahead, a north/ south split across the UK seems most likely. Northern and northwestern areas are expected to see further spells of rain, accompanied by strong winds, with the possibility of these spreading to some other areas at times. Further south however, there should be more in the way of dry weather, though even here, there is still the possibility of some showers, or longer spells of rain. Temperatures are likely to be either around or on the warmer side of average, with the warmest conditions likely in the southeast.

Week 3 and 4:

Although confidence remains low throughout this period, the preferred scenario favours a more settled regime. There should be plenty of dry, fine weather around, though there is still the risk of occasional bouts of rain and strong winds. Such spells are mostly likely across the north and west, but they could spread to other areas at times. Temperatures generally around average, with any periods of particularly warm weather most likely being short-lived.

Met Office : South East England : 2020-07-07T02:37:03

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!
