Met Office Forecast

South East England

Dry, some sunshine today. Hot and sunny over the weekend.

Today:

Any mist or fog patches in the south quickly clearing. Otherwise dry with spells of sunshine for most today. Perhaps turning cloudier at times in the north. Light southwesterly winds. Maximum Temperature 25C.

Tonight:

Fine and dry this evening. Remaining dry overnight with clear spells. Some mist or fog patches forming later, mainly in the south. Light winds. Minimum Temperature 8C.

Friday:

Any mist or fog quickly lifting during the morning. Otherwise dry with spells of warm sunshine during the day. Dry with clear spells overnight. Maximum Temperature 26C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Fine and dry over the bank holiday weekend with plenty of sunshine and light winds. Becoming very warm or hot by day. A small risk of isolated thunderstorms on Monday.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

Monday will be dry and sunny for the majority, although with the continued risk of low cloud and fog around far west and northeastern coasts. A cloudier day for northwestern parts with strengthening winds and some rain here. Remaining very warm for most and hot in the southeast, with a small chance for some thundery showers here later on. Through the end of August and early September we will see a good deal of dry weather and sunshine. However, the north and northwest are likely to experience more unsettled periods with bands of rain followed by sunny spells and showers, with these conditions possibly spreading further south at times. Temperatures should be above average, most likely warm or very warm in the southeast, but nearer to average in the northwest.

Week 3 and 4:

Confidence remains rather low during this period. Southern areas are most likely to see the driest and sunniest weather in the early days of September, perhaps with some lingering wet and windy conditions affecting the north. However, longer spells of dry and sunny weather may occasionally develop across all parts. Temperatures are generally likely to be warmer than average, although there is little indication of anything exceptional at this time.

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, and, (ii) if there are hills on the horizon.
• Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!
