July Blue Moons
The next July Blue Moon won’t be until the July 2034 full moon as there will be two full moons that month.
A blue moon is when 2 full moons are in the same calendar month. Months with 31 days, such as July make it easier to have a blue moon because a full moon occurs about once a month or, 29.53 days on average.
The seasonal blue moon is a second definition for blue moons in which 4 full moons occur in a season. The third full moon of the season is called the seasonal blue moon in the seasons which have 4 full moons. The July full moon will always be either the first or second full moon of the summer season so it will never be a seasonal blue moon.
It’s also possible depending on the time zone that the blue moon month could shift. For the purpose of this website, the blue moons will be defined based on Eastern (United States) time.
