April's full moon, known as the Pink Moon, rises tonight with good visibility... outside of much of England.

As with all full moons, the name derives from Native Americans and the Pink Moon reflects pink flowers which bloomed at this time of the year.

Rising Wednesday evening, the full moon reaches its peak in the early hours at 03:12 am.

Visibility is best across Ireland in the evening, with skies clearing behind a band of rain pushing east.

By midnight, much of Scotland and Wales will also enjoy clearer skies to see the full moon rise. Cloud cover masks this in parts of England, and becomes more widespread deeper into the night.
