Supermoon 2016 biggest in 68 years: Best ways to see giant 'Beaver Moon' in November sky

The sky in the overnight hours of Sunday, Nov. 13 to Monday, Nov. 14 will be especially "super."

A rare supermoon will make an appearance early Monday just before dawn. According to NASA, the moon will appear especially bright because it's the closest it has been to Earth since 1948.

Don't hold your breath, in the north it's supposed to rain on and off for the next couple of days. In the off bits, I'm sure it will still be cloudy.

I wont hold my breath Sal but Carol Kirkwood on the Beeb says this area has the best chance tonight, mind you the BBC weather forecasts rarely get it right.

Well it's dark and I suppose the moon is rising, but I can't tell through the cloud cover.

Sky cleared up here about 8PM to a cold crystal clear night, it didnt appear to be noticably bigger to the naked eye but it was a fair bit brighter. I tried to ask my wife if the super moon was affecting her in anyway but she was too busy sat on the garden fence howling .
