Australian Farmers Almanac: May 2026

Late autumn - blue moon, citrus season begins, winter preparation time

May 2026 Overview Late Autumn

May brings us properly into the cooler months. The morning mists are rolling in, frost is becoming a regular visitor in inland areas, and your citrus trees are starting to colour up beautifully. This is the month where we really transition from the growing season to what some folks call "maintenance mode."

Something special this month - we get two full moons. The second one on May 31 is what they call a Blue Moon. Not actually blue, but rare enough that the old phrase "once in a blue moon" means something.

Blue Moon Alert: May 2026 has two full moons - May 1 and May 31. The second full moon of a calendar month is called a Blue Moon. For moon planters, this gives you two good harvest windows.

The Eta Aquariids meteor shower peaks early in the month (May 6), with dust from Halley's Comet giving us up to 50 meteors per hour in dark skies.
