The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Nava (Asturias)

Nava solved the Asturian dilemma the middle way: neither the coast, with its long totalities and impossible skies, nor the high mountains, which meant giving up seconds. At 281 metres in the region's eastern interior it recorded 106 seconds of totality, four short of the Asturian maximum, and 19.2 % clear days in the 1996-2025 series, the ninth figure among the 78 Asturian councils in shadow. That gave it 74.3 points, second in Asturias behind Degaña.

The small print is less kind. The model assigns it a rainfall indicator of 64.7, among the highest in this whole archive, and mean cloud cover of 65.5 %: Asturias offered no comfortable option, only different trade-offs between duration and odds. The skyline, by contrast, was no obstacle, with 8.8 degrees of clearance and the Sun at 10. Totality ran from 20:26:58 to 20:28:44, maximum at 20:27:51, and the eclipse ended at 21:20:52 with the Sun still above the horizon.
