Met Office Forecast

South East England

Fine and very warm, although occasionally hazy sunshine.

Today:

A dry day with plenty of sunshine, albeit rather hazy at times. It will also be feeling a little warmer than on Thursday inland, although perhaps still rather cool along parts of the north Kent coast. Maximum Temperature 25C.

Tonight:

A mostly clear night is expected, and locally turning rather chilly. Some fog patches are possible, by dawn, mainly in prone rural spots. Minimum Temperature 4C.

Saturday:

Another bright day with plenty of hazy sunshine, once any early mist or fog clears. It will also be feeling very warm, although staying cooler along the north Kent coast Maximum Temperature 26C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Largely sunny, although occasionally rather hazy. Very warm, however some coasts perhaps cooler with any onshore breeze. Chilly overnight, with a patchy fog risk Sunday morning. Chance of showers Tuesday.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

The fine weather will continue for many on Tuesday, with plenty of warm sunshine. Perhaps cloudier in the west or southwest with the risk of a few heavy showers by the afternoon or evening. Thereafter, for the remainder of April there is lower confidence in the forecast, but the weather will perhaps become more changeable and generally less warm, at least for a time with showers or longer spells of rain and some periods with stronger winds. However, some drier, brighter and warmer interludes are still likely at times, these most probable across southern and southeastern parts, although overall, temperatures will still be close to average for late April. At times, there may be some marked variations in temperatures across the country though.

Week 3 and 4:

During the first half of May, there is very low confidence in the forecast. On balance, there is a slightly greater chance that it will be settled, with some longer spells of dry and bright weather for many places, but especially so across the south. Rain is still possible at times, although with a good deal of fine weather temperatures will be mostly above average.

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!
