Met Office Forecast

South East England

Dry and bright at first before rain arrives later.

Today:

After a dry and bright start the cloud will thicken through the morning accompanied by strengthening winds. Rain will arrive from the east during the afternoon and may be heavy at times. Maximum Temperature 8C.

Tonight:

It will be windy with heavy rain slowly clearing the far east during first part of the night. Outbreaks of rain will persist across southern coasts through the early hours. Minimum Temperature 7C.

Wednesday:

Thursday will start dry and cloudy with further rain arriving form the east during the morning. The rain will be heavy at times but should clear most places by evening. Maximum Temperature 11C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Friday should be mostly dry and bright but windy whilst Saturday and Sunday will see further outbreaks of showery rain at times.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

Unsettled and often windy conditions are expected to continue with areas of rain moving east across the UK interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. Rain is likely to be heaviest across western and northwestern areas, especially over the hills, with the best of any more prolonged drier interludes in the south and east. Hail and thunder are also possible in the showery interludes with snow at times over northern hills. Temperatures will generally be around average, but above in the south. Some brief quieter, colder spells are also possible later in the period, especially in southern and eastern areas, these bringing some overnight frost and patchy fog in places. Elsewhere will continue to see spells of wet and windy weather.

Week 3 and 4:

A continuation of the unsettled weather is expected at first, with spells of rain and strong winds broken by brighter but showery conditions. The heaviest rain and strongest winds are expected in the northwest, with drier conditions expected in southern and eastern parts. It will perhaps become more generally settled throughout the UK by the middle of March, with more prolonged dry spells, particularly in the south and east, with wetter conditions more likely to be confined to the northwest. Temperatures are expected to stay above average, with any cold interludes fairly brief.

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!
