Overnight, many Britons were able to witness the lovely Hunter’s Moon due to good visibility across the nation, which made for a spectacular spectacle.
The Hunter’s Moon, so named because October was traditionally when game was hunted after being fattened in preparation for winter, rose at 6.28pm last night, attained maximum illumination at 9.54pm, and set at 7.28am today.
Photographers obtained images of the full moon above Weymouth, Dorset, Tilbury, Essex, Dunsden, Oxfordshire, Rivington Pike, Lancashire, and London City Airport.
The Hunter’s Moon set this morning as torrential downpours lashed portions of South East England, making for an unpleasant commute for many; however, the weather will dissipate later on, leaving a sunny day with highs of 17 degrees Celsius (62 degrees Fahrenheit).
Early this morning in Dunsden, Oxfordshire, the full Hunter’s Moon is observed surrounded by rapidly moving, dense clouds.

However, there will still be a brisk breeze over the country, and blustery showers will hit parts of the north-west of the United Kingdom, with some of these showers having the potential to be heavy, especially over Scotland, where the wind will persist.
This evening, forecasters anticipate a north-south divide, with clear skies in the south and dense cloud cover in the north; nonetheless, the UK will experience a dry night with only a few showers in Scotland.
Tomorrow will be largely dry and sunny across England and Wales, while Scotland and Northern Ireland may experience a risk of light showers. There will also be isolated periods of sunshine, although cloudiness will prevail.
Throughout Wednesday and Thursday, a band of extremely wet weather and dense cloud will travel through the UK. Wednesday could be drier in the south of England, while the rest of the United Kingdom will have rain.
