"It's worth noting that the best time to see an object in the sky is when it's as high as it can be, so really around midnight," said Tom Kerss, an astronomer at the observatory. Royal Greenwich.
However, skygazers may have trouble seeing the moon tonight as the Met Office predicts clouds and heavy showers.
There is also a weather warning in place that has predicted thunderstorms, hail and floods in parts of the UK.
The moon has a slightly elliptical orbit – it does not turn around the Earth in a perfect circle. In some places, the moon is about 5% closer to the Earth than the average, called perigee, and 5% farther away, known as the apogee.
At its furthest end, the Moon is 252,088 miles from the Earth and at its closest distance of 225,623 miles.
Last year, Beaver Moon was also a Supermoon and the British enjoyed a great view all night long.
When the moon is closer and aligned with the sun and the earth, it would be a super moon. The next is due on January 21, 2019.
We expect to see the next new moon on December 7th and the next full moon on December 22nd.
