Strawberry Moon 2026: Global moonrise times and hemisphere viewing tips
The 2026 Strawberry Moon occurs on 29 June; moonrise patterns differ by hemisphere—Northern Hemisphere observers will see the Moon rise in the southeast and travel low across the southern sky, while Southern Hemisphere observers will see it rise southeast and traverse high across the northern sky. The article lists local moonrise times for major cities (e.g., New York 20:49, London 21:41, Tokyo 18:46, Melbourne 16:10, Dubai 19:03) and notes the nickname comes from strawberry season, not appearance, though a low horizon can give the Moon a reddened hue. It also points readers to additional guides for observing and photographing the Moon.
