OK, I've been too shy to ask all day - doesn't it have to be dark to see this? It'll still be light at 18:24.

its 18.15 now and the moons perfectly visible, so assuming it's not overcast, you should be able to see it quite clearly

I've just walked right around the house, but didn't see the moon. There were a couple of clouds though, so I guess it was hiding behind one of them. I'll look on the 8th.

I can't believe that Cha Am was any different than where you are BB, although I guess that clouds do move quite quickly - it was almost immediately overhead at 6.15

I definitely did the walk - sent our dogs crazy as they thought they were going for a walk also. There wasn't much cloud, but definitely no moon.

Well I've just looked again and it's still visible, just over 50% visible - maybe too many beers (only joking, I know you don't drink).

We were dead in the water over here in the East also. Storm just finished and nothing but heavy clouds. Clouds so low and heavy in fact that they were reflecting town lights making me run around the house thinking it was moon reflection. Two 9 year old's following me who now think I'm totally nuts.

The moon was in full view a few minutes ago while I was cleaning the car port. Fingers crossed for the 8th.
