The weekly build has been paused since October 6, 2026. The seasons and dates below still hold. Events are the ones the last finished build found, in the week of 2026-09-13, that have not happened yet — anything announced since is missing, and nothing here reflects this week's weather.
Next: Monday, October 26 — 7 days away, keyed to the full moon

How often we have called it on
We have called this on 1 of the 7 Sundays we looked. Last on September 13. That is our own weekly verdict rather than a measurement of the trigger, and a condition that fires midweek can pass between two builds.
From the field
The size is the least of it. The picture is the moon against something built, which needs a sightline scouted in advance and a long lens from a long way back.
