The final supermoon of 2025 rises tonight, and it's the third consecutive supermoon since October!

December's Cold Moon is not only the third supermoon in a row, but precedes yet another in January to start 2026.

The WeatherRadar shows clear conditions across the Southwest, central Plains and parts of the Northeast. Those in the Pacific Northwest, along the northern tier and in the South will have trouble catching a glimpse of the full moon.

Like all full moons, Native Americans gave the December moon a name: the Cold Moon. Reflecting the time of year when the air cools, and winter truly takes hold.

A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with the perigee, this is the closest point to Earth in the Moon’s orbit.

Compared to a full moon at its apogee, its furthest point away, a supermoon is typically 30% brighter and 13% larger.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
