Blood Moon 2025 live: Total lunar eclipse timing, weather forecast and where to see it around the world
If you’re planning to watch tonight’s total lunar eclipse, your chances will depend on the weather. About three-quarters of the country will be able to see the moon occasionally pass through Earth’s shadow. The eclipse will begin at 2:26 a.m. (Eastern Time) Friday, which corresponds to 11:26 p.m. (Pacific Time), or 0626 GMT. It will last 66 minutes of totality.
If you’re in the Lower Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Central Plains, or Texas, you may get excellent weather for viewing the eclipse. Meanwhile, a big storm in the northern and central Rockies could cause clouds and rain to obstruct the view from Montana to eastern Arizona and western New Mexico.
Marine clouds may also obstruct the view of the eclipse in parts of the Pacific coast, such as Washington, Oregon, and California. The same may be the case in some areas of the southern states—Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
Northeast parts, especially Philadelphia, New York and Boston, are also expected to be cloudy due to moisture coming in from the cold Atlantic. However, if you travel a little further west or north from these areas, you may find clear skies.
If the weather doesn’t cooperate this time, don’t worry! The next full lunar eclipse from North America will be on March 3, 2026. Keep an eye on your local weather forecast and enjoy this amazing sight if the skies are clear! 🌕✨
