Met Office Forecast

South East England

Unsettled weather from mid-week with heavy rain and damaging winds.

Today:

A cold and mainly clear start, but the overnight frost soon clearing. Then a dry and fine day with plenty of sunny spells. Cloudier in far north later. Maximum Temperature 10C.

Tonight:

Staying dry with light winds and long clear spells allowing a sharp frost to form in the south. More cloud in the north at times. Minimum Temperature -3C.

Tuesday:

Generally dry and bright with sunny spells Tuesday. A little more cloud developing along the south coast but mainly light winds inland. Maximum Temperature 12C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Turning very unsettled through the period with heavy blustery showers, or longer spells of rain. Strong to gale strength winds, with severe gales along the south coast. Drier later Friday.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

The weather is likely to remain unsettled and often windy into the start of this period. All areas in the UK are likely to see showers or longer spells of rain at times. Western areas will be wettest with eastern areas seeing more prolonged, drier interludes. Some snow is likely over northern hills, as is expected for the time of year, but overall, temperatures will be around average. Into the following week there is a chance of more settled, drier and brighter conditions in southern areas initially but perhaps extending to the rest of the country for a time. Temperatures are again expected to remain around average initially, but may become milder as things settle down next week.

Week 3 and 4:

Into the latter part of March, unsettled conditions are likely to be increasingly confined to the north and west of the UK, with the south and east probably seeing more settled conditions. Into the beginning of April, there is a chance that the settled conditions will become more widespread to bring some drier spells of weather for most. Temperatures are most likely to remain near to or slightly above average, with any colder or cooler intervals short-lived.

Met Office : South East England : 2021-03-08T00:01:45

Daylight : Hampshire

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 : Hampshire

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!
