For an uninterrupted view of the night sky we need clear conditions with little cloud cover. However, the forecast for the end of this week is looking a little mixed.
The weather thankfully, will be much quieter than last weekend when we saw Storm Darragh bringing widespread disruption. High pressure is expected to sit to the south-east of the UK, whilst weather fronts move in from the north-west.
On Friday night north-western parts of the UK, especially Northern Ireland and Scotland, are likely to see some outbreaks of rain, probably easing away later in the night to leave some clearer spells.
For England and Wales however most places are likely to have a lot of cloud or even some fog, a little drizzle is possible too, with very limited glimpses of the night sky.
By Saturday night it will be cloudier in the north and west, but there is a chance of some clearer intervals at times in the south and east.
Do check the forecast as details of potential viewing conditions may change a little.
