Was there a blue moon in 2022?

In 2022 there was not a blue moon as no months during the year had 2 full moons. There also wasn’t a seasonal blue moon as part of 2022 because none of the seasons had four full moons. Each season had three full moons.

There are two definitions of blue moons. The most common, and the one you likely know is when two full moons occur in the same month. The second full moon is typically called a blue moon.

The second definition of a blue moon relates having an extra full moon during a season. When a season has four full moons, the third full moon of the season is also called a blue moon, or a seasonal blue moon to help distinguish between the other definition.
