September's full Moon, known as the Harvest Moon, will be visible in UK skies this weekend, just days after the autumn equinox. It is expected to reach its fullest point at 17:49 BST on Saturday 26 September.
Although it will be below the horizon for much of the UK at its fullest point, the Moon will rise shortly afterwards and appear almost completely full throughout Saturday evening.
The Harvest Moon is the full Moon closest to the autumn equinox, which occurred on Wednesday this year. Historically, its additional moonlight after sunset was useful to farmers gathering crops.
The current forecast suggests drier and brighter weather for Saturday, particularly across parts of England. However, there is some cloud further west and rain for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland by the evening. The best chance of clearer skies is currently expected across some southern and eastern parts of the UK.
