One hundred and five seconds was the Soria ceiling, and Alcubilla de Avellaneda did not reach it alone: six other Soria municipalities recorded exactly the same figure. What set it apart was the skyline. The terrain model gave it 7.9 degrees of clearance between the Sun and the horizon line at maximum, two tenths off the best value in the province, and that with the Sun only 8 degrees up. Alcubilla also sits outside the cluster that dominates the rest of the Soria ranking: it lies north of the Duero rather than on the Zaragoza border, and its 951 metres place it among the low points of a province whose median altitude inside the band is around 1,065.

Darkness held from 20:29:14 to 20:30:59. The Sun then stayed bitten until it set, 47 minutes after maximum. Its 52.9% of clear days ranks it 40th of the 183 Soria municipalities in the band: an average of thirty Augusts between 1996 and 2025, not what happened on the day.
