Wolf Moon 2025: How to see the year’s first full moon with Mars

The first full moon of the new year rose just before 17:30 GMT on Monday and can be seen until Wednesday morning.

The cold and frosty nights we have seen recently will begin to disappear with the arrival of the soft Atlantic breeze. However, this also means that a considerable amount of cloud cover is expected across many parts of the UK, which is likely to obscure the view of this astronomical show. Sometimes.

The weather will change across Scotland on Monday, stopping in northern England on Monday night, bringing some light rain and drizzle to central parts of the country. However, skies will clear after this, providing better viewing conditions especially in eastern Scotland and later Northern Ireland.

Central, south-eastern England and parts of East Anglia are also expected to have cloudless skies on Monday night, but there is a risk of some mist or fog patches forming.
