The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Cervera de Buitrago (Madrid)

Of the five best-placed municipalities in the Madrid region, Cervera de Buitrago had the least totality, 1m 18s and 21st place in the region, and it still climbed to fourth in the index on 74.6 points. It managed that on the best sky of the group: 54.2 % of clear days in the historical record, almost thirteen points above the 41.7 % of Somosierra, which held the region's longest totality. Cervera sits at 906 metres, the lowest of the five, in the Lozoya reservoir country, and there the sierra no longer rises so steeply: 5.3 degrees of margin with the Sun at seven. The pattern repeats among its immediate neighbours, with El Atazar and Robledillo de la Jara also above five degrees. The cloud data summarise thirty consecutive Augusts, from 1996 to 2025, and describe nothing about the sky of that particular evening. Totality there began at 20:30:48 and ended at 20:32:06; the date brings measurable rain in 17.7 % of years.
