The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in O Barco de Valdeorras (Ourense)

Three hundred and eighty metres above sea level: the valley floor, and the lowest point of the fifteen Ourense municipalities that fell inside the band. Being down there had measurable consequences at O Barco de Valdeorras. The average August high climbs to 28.5 degrees and the low to 17.1, both the highest of the five Valdeorras municipalities featured in this archive, and the sky statistic drops to 38.2% of clear days, tenth of fifteen.

Duration held up better: 63 seconds of totality, third in the province, five below the maximum. With 7.2 degrees of horizon clearance, comfortable despite the slopes that close the valley, the index awarded it 64.4 points and third place in Ourense. The total phase was short and precise, from 20:29:07 to 20:30:10, with eleven degrees of solar altitude at azimuth 280, and the eclipse did not end until 21:22:51.
