The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Ablitas (Navarra)

Fourth of 141. That is where Ablitas ranks on clear-sky odds within the Navarrese band: 51.2% of the 12 Augusts measured from 1996 to 2025 arrived clear here, while the median for Navarrese municipalities in totality stops at 22.2% and some northern points do not pass 15.5%. The Ebro lowlands played in a different meteorological league from the rest of the region, and Ablitas holds one of the four best squares on that board.

The price of that climatic advantage is heat: an average high of 32.1 degrees on 12 August and an average low that does not drop below 18.5, with the town sitting at just 343 metres. Totality lasted 85 seconds, from 20:28:37 to 20:30:02, the fourth best provincial figure, with the Sun 7 degrees up at azimuth 284 and 5.4 degrees of margin against the relief to the west. The disc set at 21:11:16 without ever finishing its uncovering. That 51.2% is thirty years of climate history, not a report of the evening.
