Met Office Forecast

South East England

Dry, bright and warm. Sunshine turning hazy at times.

Today:

A widely fine, dry and warm day across the region with plenty of sunshine. High cloud turning sunshine hazy at times. Winds remaining generally light. Maximum Temperature 24C.

Tonight:

Cloud will gradually thicken overnight. An area of showery rain may push into the south and southeast of the region this evening, remaining largely dry elsewhere. Minimum Temperature 12C.

Monday:

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain, perhaps turning heavy and persistent at times. Drier further west with some spells of hazy sunshine. Cooler than the weekend. Maximum Temperature 19C.

Tuesday to Thursday:

Rain clearing eastern parts Tuesday morning, followed by sunny spells and scattered gusty showers. Similarly cool and unsettled on Wednesday. Showers locally heavy and thundery at times. Drier Thursday.

UK: day 6-7 and week 2:

Dry conditions with sunny spells are expected for most on Friday, although some cloud and light rain or showers are likely to be seen in the northern regions. Over the weekend, fine and dry weather will persist, however some light showers remain possible, especially in the north and east. Near normal temperatures can be expected for most, perhaps feeling warmer in the south and southwest. Into the following week, the weather is likely to become more settled, with any few showers most likely to be seen in the north and east. This means drier conditions and above average temperatures for most, particularly in the south and southeast, and fewer showers all round. As we move into the beginning of June, drier than average conditions are expected to persist overall.

UK: week 3 and 4:

In the beginning of June, we can expect to see a lot of dry weather across the UK. Temperatures may potentially become warm in the south and southwest but remaining closer to average in the north. Later on in June, we may however see some less settled and cooler weather, particularly in northern regions.

Met Office : South East England : 2022-05-22T02:03:34

Daylight : Oxfordshire

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 : Oxfordshire

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!
