If you do head out on a clear night then the planet will be visible for most of the night across the UK, with it being at its highest point in the sky around 3:30am.
Jupiter will appear as the brightest star in the sky and if you have a telescope, then heading away from any city areas so light pollution doesn’t spoil your view will give you the best opportunity of spotting it.
