South East England

Strong winds associated with Storm Darragh slowly easing on Sunday.

  • A cloudy and wet day across the region with further periods of rain, turning showery at times and punctuated by heavier bursts
  • Widespread strong and gusty winds throughout, with a risk of gales at times
  • Maximum Temperature 8C

Tonight:

  • Remaining cloudy with rain becoming lighter and patchier overnight
  • Many places dry by dawn, although showery rain may linger across southeastern parts
  • Blustery winds very slowly easing from the west
  • Minimum Temperature 6C

Monday:

  • Another cloudy day with further outbreaks of showery rain
  • Drier interludes more likely in the west of the region
  • Strong and blustery winds continuing
  • Temperatures around average
  • Maximum Temperature 8C

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

  • Rather cloudy and breezy Tuesday with further showers
  • Drier, brighter and less windy conditions by midweek but with overnight fog and frost patches likely becoming more prevalent as winds ease

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • High pressure will likely weaken later this week, allowing occasional bands of rain to make some progress southeastwards across parts of the UK
  • While there may be an attempt for high pressure to rebuild at times, especially in the south, the more likely scenario is for an unsettled regime to dominate for much of next week, with occasional spells of rain followed by blustery showers, these most frequent and perhaps wintry at times in the northwest
  • It may be quite windy at times too, especially towards the north, while southern areas have a greater chance of some lengthier drier and perhaps more settled spells, although even here it may still be rather breezy
  • Temperatures will vary around average, with oscillations between colder and milder interludes

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Mainly unsettled conditions appear likely for most, with spells of wind and rain followed by showers affecting most areas but especially the north and northwest of the UK
  • Some sleet and snow is also likely at times, especially on high ground in the north
  • However, there are also some signs that more settled conditions are possible at times, these perhaps most likely across the south late in December or into early January
  • Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with any more settled interludes bringing a risk of frost and fog

Notes

  • The percentage of the moon which is illuminated doesn't vary much with location.
  • A full moon is not just bigger, it is much brighter. A quarter moon (1/2 disk visible) give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a quarter 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!

West Sussex weather (Accuweather)

Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.
