It’s finally here; tonight, March 13, 2025, a total lunar eclipse is expected , and we’re, ahem, over the moon about it.

According to timeanddate.com, the eclipse could be visible in Lakeland (with a similar time expectation in the Lake Wales area), from 11:57 p.m. ET Thursday, March 13, to 6 a.m. ET Friday, March 14, with max viewing at 2:58 a.m. ET Friday, March 14.

Obscuration could be 100% and average cloud cover could be 53%. The uncertainty of cloudy skies shouldn’t cull your desire to try and witness this phenomenon.

According to the National Weather a service, much of Florida is expected to have a reasonably clear view of tonight’s lunar eclipse.


The most recent total lunar eclipse, also known as a “blood moon”, occurred on November 8, 2022.
