somewhere around

In the vicinity

Somewhere around indicates an approximate quantity, time, or location: The package should arrive somewhere around noon, It costs somewhere around fifty dollars.

The phrase signals that the speaker is estimating rather than stating precisely.

It's interchangeable with roughly or about, though slightly more conversational.
