Full Strawberry Moon set to light up night sky

Following a record-breaking heatwave in the UK this week, the door is being opened to cooler and fresher air coming in from the Atlantic.

As well as a change in temperature, there is more unsettled weather in the forecast for the early part of the week.

While many places will be dry on Monday during the day with sunny spells, an area of low pressure will be approaching during the evening and overnight.

That means thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain will be pushing across from the west on Monday night.

Most of this cloudy, wet weather will affect Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. The best chances for clear skies will be across the Midlands, Wales and southern England.

You can check the forecast where you live here.

If weather hinders your chances of seeing this full Moon, there are two more opportunities throughout meteorological summer.

The Buck Moon – named after the time male deer sprout new antlers – will rise on 29 July. This will be followed by the Sturgeon Moon – named after the freshwater fish caught by Native Americans in the Great Lakes – on 28 August.
