Path Through Ohio | 3:12 PM

People within a 124-mile-wide band in Ohio will bear witness to the total solar eclipse. Many major cities are in the path of totality, including Toledo. Make your plans now as hundreds of thousands of people are expected to make their way to the region to witness this once-in-a-lifetime event.

The total solar eclipse will begin at 3:08 pm, with the final exit of the Moon’s shadow from the state at 3:19 pm.

Totality in Toledo begins at 3:12 pm and will last for nearly two minutes and a partial eclipse will be visible before and after. Plus, the moon will be relatively closer to the Earth during the 2024 eclipse allowing it to be larger and last longer in duration.

The last total solar eclipse visible in Ohio was in 1806. The next total solar eclipse in Ohio will be in the year 2099.

The Weather
April weather in Ohio can sometimes pose a challenge. Ideally, an eclipse viewer will want crystal clear skies for the biggest wow factor. But, even if it’s cloudy, you will still experience some of the other phenomena like darkness, drops in temperatures and changes in wildlife behavior.
