Buck Moon visible across UK skies from 26 July

The Buck Moon will reach its peak at 3:36 PM BST on 29 July. Its designation originates from the period each year when male deer develop fresh antlers. Clear skies are expected across much of England, offering favourable viewing conditions. The Royal Observatory in Greenwich also refers to this Moon as the Thunder Moon due to the summer storms that frequently occur in this month.
