The next full Moon in the UK
The next full Moon can be seen on 28 January 2021. The so-called ‘Wolf Moon’ will appear for around three nights.
A full Moon happens roughly every 29.5 days, the length of one lunar cycle. You can see details of each full Moon of 2021 (including every Moon’s dedicated name) below.
28 January: Wolf Moon
27 February: Snow Moon
28 March: Worm Moon
27 April: Pink Moon (supermoon)
26 May: Flower Moon/Blood Moon (supermoon)
24 June: Strawberry Moon
24 July: Buck Moon
22 August: Sturgeon Moon
21 September: Harvest Moon
20 October: Hunter’s Moon
19 November: Beaver Moon (micro full Moon)
19 December: Cold Moon
When the Full Moon appears twice in the same month which, it doesn't happens that often hence the saying Once in a Blue Moon

Very instructive Julie! Lot of new details for me here and lots I didn't know! keep well Amanda x Crafty in the Med
ReplyDeleteI had heard of harvest moon and blue moon before but the other names were new to me. I'll have to go learn more about them. Thanks for pointing them out.
ReplyDeleteGreat information about the moon. I have to admit to lacking knowledge about the moon. Will look out for the Wolf Moon etc.
ReplyDeleteI love that they all have a name :)
ReplyDeleteI love the names of the moons for each month, I've heard of the harvest moon and the hunter's moon but not the others so thanks for educating me :-)
ReplyDeleteMad Englishwoman commented on my Moon pictures about waxing and waning moons which sent me off on a search only to find that my South African pictures of the moon were in reverse. I know so little about the moon; I just took it for granted, up there in the sky, not realising it was the other way round here in the northern hemisphere. Been an interest choice of words this week, very educational. Love all the different names you have listed. Only knew of four of them. x
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that there were so many different moons 😃
