Winter's final full moon rises tonight

The final full moon of winter rises on Wednesday, but visibility will be very limited.

Known as the Snow Moon, named as such by Native Americans for its traditional timing alongside snowfall, the moon reaches its full peak at 01:53 pm while beyond the horizon.

Despite this, our lunar companion will appear full and bright over the UK and Ireland on Wednesday night and the next few days.

Vast cloud cover will mask the night sky, though there are patches of clearer skies in parts of England and western Scotland.

If you miss the event this evening, you can rely on the astronomy feature inside the app. Showing the current phase of the moon cycle, as well as the rise and setting times for the day. You can also see the sunrise and sunset times!

Find it on the app's home screen, and use the WeatherRadar at any time to find where and when the best visibility will be.
