The Naked Reunion (1993)world is getting ready for the biggest and brightest supermoon until 2034, but chances are that Britain will see very little or none of it because -- you know -- weather.
SEE ALSO: Monday's supermoon will be the biggest and brightest until 2034The moon will be at its closest -- only 221,524 miles (356,509 km) away -- at 11:21 a.m. London time but the best chance to see it will be after it rises above the horizon at around 4:45 p.m.
It will appear about 8% larger and about 15% brighter than average, Sky & Telescopemagazine said in a press release, though the difference between the supermoon and a normal full moon will be quite difficult to discern for the human eye.
However, the Met Office's UK forecast suggests it will be cloudy when the supermoon is closest, though it still advised people to check the local forecast for the event:

Supermoons like these are rare thanks to the moon's wacky orbit. The natural satellite doesn't move around Earth in a perfect circle, which means that occasionally the moon will hit full phase when it is at its closest point (perigee) or farthest point (apogee) from the planet.
In the UK, the moon will turn full at 1:52 p.m., two and a half hours after reaching perigee. It will be the closest full moon since Jan. 26, 1948.
If you still hope for clear weather, these are the best places in the UK for skygazers:
Primrose Hill, London
Greenwich Park, London
Northumberland International Dark Sky Park
Cairngorms National Park
Loch Trool, Galloway Forest Park, Scotland
Spey Valley, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland
Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland
