The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Burgos (Burgos)

On duration, the capital of Burgos had nothing to envy the villages to the south: 104 seconds of totality, from 20:28:20 to 20:30:04, only three short of the provincial ceiling, the 107 seconds recorded at Itero del Castillo. Another 56 municipalities in the province logged exactly the same figure.

The difference was made by the statistical sky. With 42.2% of those dates clear across the thirty-year record, the city ranked 186th of 371, twelve points below the Ribera del Duero, and that discount pushed it to 192nd in the provincial index despite its healthy duration. It reflects a capital sitting in the wetter, cloudier northern half: 41.0% mean cloud cover and a typical high of 26.5 degrees, the coolest among this archive's Burgos entries. In exchange the horizon was open, with 7.8 degrees of clearance from a city standing at 875 metres, and the Sun took 50 minutes to set once totality had ended, going down at 21:20:16 with the partial phase still in progress.
