How does Chard compare with nearby towns?

The Met Office weather Chard forecast usually reflects this subtle difference, especially on clear nights when frost forms more readily. For those looking further ahead, the BBC Weather Chard 14 days outlook suggests the South West will remain changeable, though Chard may catch slightly more cloud than some coastal spots.
