South East England

Clear or sunny spells. Any isolated showers soon clearing.

  • Chance of isolated showers at first, otherwise a dry and chilly night is expected with clearing skies
  • This will lead to some grass frost
  • Some mist and fog is likely to develop overnight
  • Minimum Temperature 2C

Friday:

  • A cold and bright start to the day with mist and fog clearing
  • Staying dry through Friday with plenty of sunshine
  • Maximum Temperature 13C

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

  • Mainly fine start to Saturday, but increasing risk of showers
  • Some rain clearing overnight to leave a fine and dry day Sunday and Monday
  • Staying rather cool

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • The Uk will initially be between high pressure to the east, and low pressure to the west
  • In this situation bands of cloud and rain will attempt to push eastwards, and ahead of this its possible we could see some showery activity drawn northwards from the continent
  • However, from midweek onwards it looking likely that the low pressure to the west will become increasingly influential, with an increased chance of rain, showers and perhaps strong winds, especially in the west or northwest
  • With winds from a southerly direction at first, temperatures will likely trend above average, with some warm conditions possible at times, but perhaps returning closer to average later in the week as winds become turn more toward the west

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Potentially some wet and windy weather at first, especially in the northwest, but a trend towards more settled conditions is most favoured for late October as high pressure becomes increasingly dominant
  • This would bring the potential for frost and fog at night, and possibly large variations between daytime and overnight temperatures
  • Into early November, high pressure may become more centred to the northwest of the UK, resulting in a gradual trend towards more unsettled conditions

Visibility in km. Above 50km is 'good'. Humidity and air pollution make it worse. Theoretical maximum is 300km/200 miles in clean dry polar air.

On the South Downs, at ~ 170m/500ft, the horizon is is ~ 45km/30 miles away. On a mountain at 1,000m/3,000ft, it is ~ 160km/100 miles away. Formula: horizon in km = √ (13 x altitude in m)

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!

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