When to see the supermoon in the Carolinas

#weather #charlotte #northcarolina #southcarolina

A supermoon is coming to the Carolinas on Monday.

Although a supermoon is not rare, and a blue moon is not rare, the combination of the two occurring in tandem only comes around about every 10 years, on average.

The last blue supermoon was only one year ago in August 2023. But the next blue supermoon won't happen until 2037. This is why you'll see many catchy headlines online that elude it's a must-see event.
But in reality, to the average viewer, it will appear much like every other full moon. Just ever so slightly brighter and bigger to the most observant of moon-gazers. This will be most noticeable around moonrise and moonset, when the moon is at the bottom of the horizon.
