When does the Moon rise today in Mumbai, and will I see it tonight?
It is 46° above the southeast horizon, 5% lit, and sets at 16:35 IST today in the west-southwest. Forecast cloud this hour: 0%.
The Moon rises on average about 50 minutes later each day (the daily shift varies through the month; see the table below), so some calendar dates have no moonrise or no moonset. Times assume a flat horizon at the city reference; buildings or hills delay what you actually see.

"—" means the Moon does not rise or set on that calendar date. Times use the local clock in force on each date, so daylight-saving changes appear where they happen.
Chandrodaya (चन्द्रोदय) means moonrise. The time on this page is the astronomical moonrise for the city reference. Festival and vrat timings, such as those for Karva Chauth or Sankashti Chaturthi, follow panchang rules and local custom that this page does not calculate. Use your family's or temple's panchang for religious observance; use this page to know when and where the Moon actually clears the horizon.
Mumbai faces the Arabian Sea to the west. The Moon always rises in the eastern half of the sky, so from the city reference it comes up over the eastern suburbs and the Thane creek side, not over the sea. The open sea horizon matters for moonset, which happens in the western half of the sky. Buildings near you decide when the Moon first becomes visible; this calculation assumes a flat horizon.

In those months a correct moonrise time often comes with no visible Moon.
