I have noticed that my site (and local PC cumulus) do not seem to be giving Moonrise - though moonset shows OK. Is this a known bug - or a quirk of my location ??? Weather station website is

That is because at your location, the moon rise was on the preceding day and there is no moonrise today so the date displays as ----
Quote from below FAQ:
The moon doesn’t rise and set every day, the dashes appear when that event doesn’t occur on that particular day. The period between a moon rise and set is approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes, on average. The moon rises (or sets) approximately 50 minutes later, on average, each day. It therefore follows that sometimes the moon will not rise or set on a particular day - i.e. it had risen the previous day, or will set on the following day.

Thanks for the info. Silly me - I should have looked closer at the FAQ. Now I feel quite stupid!!
