The Strawberry Moon will be full on 23 June 2026 at 10:32 BST. It will sit soft in the southern sky as twilight fades. Forecast calls for clear‑cut weather in southern England from 21 June, so the moon should be easy to see when it rises. Its maximum brightness hits at the listed time. Clear skies are forecast.
The disc can look big near the horizon because of an optical trick. Look south‑east to south‑west at twilight. The shallow angle will stretch the moon’s shape, giving a clear silhouette against the dusk. Astrologers point out a Capricorn theme for June.
