The Worm Moon appeared full in the UK on March 3, 2026, but missed the blood moon eclipse visible elsewhere.

The Worm Moon, the first full moon of spring, was visible across the UK on March 3, 2026, with best views in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England, where skies were clear. While a total lunar eclipse—visible as a blood moon in Asia, Australia, and the Americas—occurred earlier in the day, the UK missed the red hue as the eclipse was below the horizon. The moon appeared full but not red, named for worms emerging in thawing soil, a tradition tied to seasonal change. The peak fullness occurred at 11:38 a.m. GMT, with the Pink Moon expected on April 2.
