When will you be able to see the solar eclipse in Florida? See what time to head outside

We're a little over a month away until a total solar eclipse will cross North America in April.

Don't miss it. The next total eclipse that will be visible from the contiguous United States won't be visible until Aug. 23, 2044, according to NASA.

While Florida isn't in the path of totality, residents will be able to see a partial eclipse. Here's when you can watch the eclipse across Florida.

When is the solar eclipse in 2024?

The solar eclipse will take place April 8.

Will Florida see a total solar eclipse?

No. Florida is not in the 115-mile-swath of "totality" that stretches from Texas to Maine.

The "path of totality" is the area where the moon will totally block the sun.

Depending on where you are in the Sunshine State, the moon will block anywhere from 54 to 82 percent of the sun. Residents in the northwest corner of the state will see more of the eclipse.

Can you damage your eyes if you look at the sun during an eclipse?

Yes. The only time you can look directly at the sun is when the moon totally blocks it, which will not happen anywhere in Florida.

Looking directly at the sun can cause permanent damage to your eyes, including blindness.

To look at the sun to see the eclipse, you'll need solar eclipse glasses. Warby Parker is offering free eclipse glasses at any of its locations starting April 1. Some libraries have free solar glasses available but call first to make sure some are still available.

What's the best place in Florida to see the Great North American Eclipse?

At the midpoint of the eclipse, Pineville viewers will see 82.4 percent of the sun covered at 1:55 .m. CDT, closely followed by Bratt with 82.3 percent of the sun blocked by the moon.
