When is the 2024 eclipse in Michigan?
Most areas of Michigan are not in the path of totality, but you can still see the moon crossing the sun using eclipse glasses or a safe eclipse viewing device.
A small piece of Monroe County, near Toledo, is expected to be in the path of the totality. This means that the area is likely to become gloomy and temperatures will drop by a few degrees as the moon's shadow covers the sun.
This is the time when you can expect to view the eclipse from your city or region. (Can't you see the chart below? Click here.)
