2024 ECLIPSE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO

(This is an archived page about the total solar eclipse that occurred on April 8, 2024. For information on future eclipses, please see our Upcoming Eclipse Maps page.)


Cleveland, OhioOn April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland is very close to the eclipse centerline, which is actually over Lake Erie at this point, and the lucky citizens of this lakeside city can expect very generous durations of totality on April 8. In fact, somewhat surprisingly, meteorologists think the frigid waters of Lake Erie in early April might actually inhibit the formation of clouds over the lake. Although an eclipse viewing on the water might be a chilly experience, it might also offer better weather prospects than locations farther inland. In downtown Cleveland, totality will last for about 3 minutes and 49 seconds. With such a long duration of darkness and with plenty of lakeside viewing spots, Cleveland will certainly be rocking on April 8, 2024. Below, we've provided key details about the eclipse in Cleveland for locals and visitors planning on viewing the eclipse from that city.
