Met Office Forecast

South East England

Showers, heavy at times, developing, after a bright, chilly start.

Today:

A chilly start, but generally dry and bright. However, patchy cloud will increase through the morning, bringing scattered showers, some of which will be heavy. Maximum Temperature 13C.

Tonight:

Showers dying out this evening to leave a dry night with largely clear skies. It will be cold, and a patchy frost is likely to form by dawn. Minimum Temperature 2C.

Thursday:

Another chilly but bright start on Friday. Patchy cloud will develop in the afternoon, bringing a few showers, most likely across the north and east of the region. Maximum Temperature 15C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Windy Saturday with persistent rain, clearing northwards during the afternoon. Warm with sunny spells Sunday, but showers possible later. Cooler Monday with sunny spells but showers developing in the afternoon.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

Remaining unsettled into the new week and for the rest of this period. To start, spells of locally heavy rain across the far northwest, while all other areas see a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers on Monday. Downpours can possibly be quite heavy, with risks of hail and thunderstorms in the west. Winds fresh to strong across much of the UK, with potential for gales at first in the north and west, becoming confined to the northwest later. Temperatures nearer average to rather warm, bar the far north which is likely to still feel rather cold, to begin the week. A return to near to below-average temperatures thereafter with the ongoing unsettled weather of mixed showers or longer spells of rain and strong winds.

Week 3 and 4:

Confidence is low for this outlook, with weakening signals from global weather drivers. A mixture of sunny spells and showers is likely, especially at first, with areas in the south experiencing the most settled and dry conditions through this period. Towards the north and northwest there is an increased chance of unsettled weather as longer spells of rain and strong winds arrive from the Atlantic at times. Temperatures likely to be around average.

Met Office : South East England : 2021-05-06T08:34:33

Daylight : Surrey

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 : Surrey

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!
