When Is The Next Full Moon In The UK?

The next full moon will be on Sunday, August 22 at exactly 1:01 pm in the UK. It’s known as the Sturgeon Moon, which represents the freshwater fish that were particularly easy to catch during the August heat.

Meanwhile, this month’s full moon will also be a Blue Moon, as it’s the third of four full moons in the astronomical season. There will still be four full moons in the astronomical season. There will still be four full moons to go in the calendar year after this weekend, with the Harvest Moon set for September 21.

Each time the moon is directly opposite the sun in its orbit, with Earth sandwiched in the middle, you’ll be able to view a full lunar orbit. It’s caused by the sun’s light being reflected off the moon’s surface. From earth, it appeared like the moon is producing visible light by itself, but that’s not the case.
