July's Full Moon will light up the night sky marking the biggest and brightest Full Moon of the year. The Super Thunder Moon will reach its peak on July 13, at 18:37 UTC (2:37 p.m. EDT - 1:37 p.m. CDT). Note that the Moon will look full and round the day before, and the day after, the crest of its full phase. So the Moon will look full and bright around July 12 to 14. Considered a "Supermoon" the celestial body will appear a whopping 14% bigger and 30% brighter. Supermoons Affect the Tides The closest supermoon of the year has the potential to bring exceptionally high tides to your area, too, if you live along a coast, especially if a strong weather front, with high winds, moves into your area around the time of the full Moon. Full Supermoon tides typically follow the actual full Moon by a day or so. Why is the July Moon called the Full Thunder Moon? This full Moon is known as the Thunder Moon because thunderstorms are so frequent during this month. On July 13th, go outside and enjoy the biggest and brightest Supermoon of the year. Clear Skies Everyone!
