The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Fuentelmonge (Soria)
Soria
Within the path of totalityOnly two of the 183 municipalities Soria placed under the shadow had better sky statistics than Fuentelmonge. Its 55.3% clear-day share over thirty measured Augusts is third in the province, next to 30.7% mean cloud cover and rain logged in 30.9% of those years. That is the kind of number that pushes a small village to fifth in the index, 84.0 points, without standing out anywhere else.
Because everywhere else Fuentelmonge was unremarkable. Its 103 seconds of totality, from 20:29:29 to 20:31:12, are worth 56th place in the province. And 5.7 degrees of horizon clearance is the tightest reading among the five Soria municipalities at the top of the table: with the Sun 7 degrees up at maximum, any hill to the west-northwest ate a noticeable share of that reserve. Six kilometres away lies Monteagudo de las Vicarias, and the climate model assigns the two almost identical cloud, rain and temperature figures. All of it is a thirty-year average: nobody knows how that 12 August dawned.
