Core point

The July full Moon, known as the Buck Moon, is set to peak at 15:36 BST on 29 July. It gets its name from the time of year when male deer grow new antlers. The Royal Observatory in Greenwich also refers to this Moon as the Thunder Moon due to summer storms. The weather forecast suggests favorable viewing conditions for the Buck Moon across much of the UK.
