Overview

• Spain’s IGN says maximum illumination occurs at about 05:47 on October 7 (peninsular time), and the Moon will be easily visible without telescopes where skies are clear.
• Because the exact full phase and perigee do not perfectly align, regional agencies note some observers will see a true supermoon while others experience a near‑supermoon.
• Meteorologists in Galicia forecast pronounced tides this week, with up to a 3.8‑meter range between low and high water around Wednesday.
• The bright lunar glare will hamper views of the Draconids on October 8–9, though the Orionids on October 20–21 should benefit from darker skies near the new Moon.
• This October event begins a run of three consecutive supermoons in 2025, followed by November 5 and December 4.
