Will there be a blue moon in 2026?
In 2026 there will be a blue moon on May 31 as there will be two moons during the month.
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 to 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.
There will not be not a seasonal blue moon in 2026 because each season will have three full moons.
