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

The provincial capital was inside the band, and that was its main argument, because it won nothing in the tables. Its 101 seconds of totality left it 113th of the 183 eclipsed Soria municipalities, four seconds under the provincial maximum. Its 49.5% of clear days, 127th. And the overall index, 81.6 points, 109th. Honest figures for a city that stands where the city stands, not where the eclipse would prefer.

In exchange it offered two things the ranking does not show. First, altitude: 1,121 metres, among the fifty highest points of the Soria band, with an average high of 26.9 degrees that makes it the coolest of the Soria municipalities in this selection. Second, 7.2 degrees of horizon clearance, above the provincial median, in terrain where many nearby mesas left less. Worth remembering that this figure measures ground only: inside a built-up area, what blocked the west-northwest were the buildings. Totality from 20:29:01 to 20:30:42.
