The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Alconada de Maderuelo (Segovia)

One second. That was all that separated Alconada de Maderuelo from the provincial record: 99 s of totality against the 100 s measured at Aldealengua de Santa María, some three kilometres away. Its compensation came from the other column, the sky. A 51.1 % rate of clear days on 12 August across the 1996-2025 series was the best figure in the north-eastern Segovian cluster and ranked 27th among the 204 municipalities of the province that fell inside the band. Combining both, the index awarded it 81.3 points, third in Segovia.

Totality ran from 20:29:46 to 20:31:25, with maximum at 20:30:36 and the Sun 8 degrees above the horizon. The terrain model computed 6.7 degrees of clearance beneath the disc, so from its 944 metres all that was needed was a west-north-west skyline free of trees and farm sheds. The record logs no end time for the partial phase because the Sun had already set, at 21:17:35. That 51.1 % describes thirty Augusts, not the particular evening of the eclipse.
