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