Norfolk Coast Path : Hunstanton to Cromer walk

Met Office Forecast

East England

Cloudy start with morning rain turning to showers. Becoming brighter.

Today:

A cloudy start to Sunday with some outbreaks of rain possible during the morning before cloud breaks and lifts to give some brighter or sunny spells by the afternoon. A few showers are still likely, possibly rather heavy. Maximum Temperature 19C.

Tonight:

Evening showers soon dying out to leave a fine night with a few clear spells, but probably remaining rather cloudy. Minimum Temperature 10C.

Monday:

Monday looks set to be mostly dry with bright or sunny spells and winds remaining light. Chance of a few showers. especially later in the day. Winds staying light. Maximum Temperature 21C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Tuesday and Wednesday mainly fine with some sunshine but increasing risk of showers each afternoon. Breezier by Thursday with showers and a chance of rain later with increasing cloud.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

A mixture of sunny spells and showers, with some drier interludes is the general pattern expected through this period, as the unsettled, changeable conditions continue to dominate. Some of these showery spells may merge to give slightly longer spells of rain, with some thunderstorms likely to develop from these. Torrential downpours are likely in some places. There is a risk of strong winds at times for some, and temperatures are expected to be below average, but perhaps slightly above average in northern areas. Through the remainder of this period, it will likely turn settled, though a few showers cannot be ruled out, especially in southeastern areas. This will bring drier weather, with sunny spells for most through to mid-August, and 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 : East England : 2021-08-01T02:54:34

Daylight : Norfolk

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 : Norfolk

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!
