The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Cihuela (Soria)

Soria is a high province, and Cihuela was almost the exception: at 877 metres, only four of the 183 Soria municipalities inside the band sat lower. Elevation is not decoration here. The climate model behind these pages uses four variables to downscale the European grid to municipal level, and altitude is one of them; the low Manubles corridor explains why thirty Augusts of records give 55.0% clear days here, the sixth best in the province, with average highs of 29.7 degrees.

In seconds, though, Cihuela landed mid-table: 103, two below the provincial maximum, 51st of 183. And its horizon clearance, 6.1 degrees, falls slightly under the Soria median of 6.5, so the surrounding relief mattered more than an open-looking district suggests. Adding the three pieces, the index gave it 84.0 points and fourth place in Soria. Totality ran from 20:29:28 to 20:31:11; at 21:11:33 the Sun dropped below the skyline still bitten.
