Frequently asked questions

What time is moonrise in Wellington today?

Thursday, September 17, 2026: moonrise 8:59 AM, moonset none (next 12:46 AM, Sep 18) (NZST).

Why can't I see the Moon exactly at moonrise time?

Moonrise is when the Moon's centre crosses a flat horizon. Buildings, trees, hills or haze near the horizon delay the first sighting, often by 10–20 minutes — for Karwa Chauth or Sankashti, wait until the Moon is clearly visible.
