The Strawberry Moon will be bright on 23 June 2026 at 10:32 BST. It will sit soft in the southern sky as twilight fades. Forecast calls for crisp weather in southern England from 21 June, so the moon should be simple to spot when it rises. Its maximum brightness hits at the listed time. Forecasted skies are expected.
The disc can look impressive near the horizon because of an light effect. Look south‑east to south‑west at twilight. The low angle will stretch the moon’s shape, giving a clear silhouette against the dusk. Astrologers mention a Capricorn theme for June.
