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

The provincial capital traded seconds for odds. Its 84 seconds of totality are 25 fewer than Ribadeo's and leave it 41st among the 66 Lugo municipalities in the band, but its 19.4 % of clear days triples the 6.3 % of the eastern coast and places it twenty-seventh in the province in that column. For anyone forced to pick a single spot within Lugo, it was a defensible bet, even if the index, more generous towards the stopwatch, leaves it on 66.4 points.

At 417 metres, with the Sun at 11 degrees and 10.0 of clearance over the terrain, the skyline was never the problem. Totality ran from 20:28:02 to 20:29:26, with maximum at 20:28:44, and the partial phase did not close until 21:22:10, by then in very low light. None of this describes the real sky of 12 August 2026: that 19.4 % summarises thirty Augusts, from 1996 to 2025, and no weather record for the day exists in this dataset.
