The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in ses Salines (Illes Balears)

Totality ended over ses Salines at 20:32:48 and the Sun set at 20:47:20: fourteen and a half minutes of margin, one of the shortest anywhere on the path, though in Menorca the countdown was tighter still. At the southern tip of Mallorca, nineteen metres above sea level, the eclipse played out with the disc two degrees above the sea line and with no time for the partial phase to finish before sunset. With 96 seconds of total phase and 2.2 degrees of margin, the municipality posted 83.7 points and fourth place in the Balearics, tied with Banyalbufar. On climate it contributes the cleanest record of this group: 20.9 % mean cloud cover for the date and measurable rain in only 9.8 % of years, with 62.6 % of clear days. These are 1996 to 2025 averages, not the forecast for that day. The Sun went down on an azimuth of 288 degrees, the highest bearing of this group.
