East England

Fine with some sunshine, perhaps hazy later.

  • A fine and warm day, with lengthy periods of sunshine
  • This sunshine perhaps turning a little hazy at times under areas of higher cloud
  • Some coastal districts perhaps feeling a little cooler with the onshore breeze
  • Maximum Temperature 20C

Tonight:

  • Fine overnight, but with cloud cover probably increasing from the south to help prevent a frost as winds gradually ease
  • Minimum Temperature 4C

Monday:

  • Probably rather more cloud around than over the weekend, but still feeling warm for many, with some brighter spells
  • Becoming breezier later, ahead of overnight rain
  • Maximum Temperature 17C

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

  • Rain clearing southwards on Tuesday to introduce markedly colder conditions once again, with some sunny spells but also a few showers
  • Overnight frosts becoming more likely

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • Friday will stay rather cool and showery, especially in northern and western areas, where more-persistent rain or hill sleet is possible for a time
  • Then, next weekend will continue on a cool theme, with high pressure to the north probably becoming more dominant, but still with lower pressure to the south
  • There should be a good deal of dry weather on the whole, though spells of rain may get close to the far south from time to time
  • The following week (17th) is likely to see a transition to unsettled conditions, with Atlantic weather systems bringing wind and rain at times
  • The south and east could see the best of the drier interludes
  • Temperatures are likely to be below average at first with frosty nights, then above average later

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Confidence is low, but through the remainder of March changeable weather patterns are most likely
  • This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells
  • Into early April, there may be a transition to more-frequent drier and more settled spells
  • Temperatures will probably be above average overall

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

  • Max Height (solar noon) is when the sun is highest in the sky.
  • Day length is dawn to dusk as there is enough light for walking for at least 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, even on an overcast day.
  • At 'Light' (nautical dawn) the horizon becomes visible. At 'Dawn' (civil dawn) there is enough light to read, and drivers can switch their lights off. Finally the sun rises.
  • After sunset, there is still enough light to read until 'Dusk' (civil dusk) or lighting up time for drivers. The horizon is still visible until 'Dark' (nautical dusk).
  • Times will vary if there is a hill on the horizon.

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
  • Sunlight is ~ 1,000,000 times brighter than moonlight.
  • Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!

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