The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Valfarta (Huesca)

The best-rated municipality in Huesca was Valfarta, on 73.9 points, and it got there with the opposite argument to the one that prevailed in the north of the country. Its 70 seconds of totality match the provincial ceiling but are forty fewer than in Asturias; in exchange, its 61.4 % of clear days for that date, averaged over 1996-2025, is the third best statistic of the 57 Huesca entries inside the band and is nine times Burela's.

That contrast sums up the 2026 eclipse in Spain: where there was time there was no sky, and where the sky was reliable the event lasted barely over a minute. At 355 metres, the Sun was eclipsed at 6 degrees of altitude with 4.5 of clearance over the terrain, and totality ran from 20:29:01 to 20:30:11. The typical daily maximum of 32.7 degrees is a reminder that this was watched in the middle of the Aragonese dry plains in August. All these percentages are thirty-year averages, not the forecast for the day.
