It's the most southerly rising it will do. It also won't rise very

I hate it. Why can't it be full during cloudy weather?

There really is no pleasing some people. What on earth can you find
wrong with a full moon?

I'm an astronomer. Full moon means I can't view anything very dim
(insert obligatory neighbour joke here).

Viewing the full moon itself is also unsatisfying as there are no
shadows to give you perspective. Best you can observe are planets and
the brighter clusters. Oh, and some double/multiple stars.

Hates it, we do :-)

I give it up from late May to late July...
