The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Vegas del Condado (León)

Vegas del Condado topped Leon without winning any of the three categories that make up the index. On duration it came twenty-ninth of 211, with 107 seconds. On clear sky, fifty-sixth, with 49.4%. And 7.9 degrees of horizon clearance, the narrowest figure of the five municipalities leading the province. Its 83.7 points are nonetheless the highest score among Leon's 211 band entries.

The reason is arithmetic and worth understanding: with duration weighted at 40% and neither of the other two legs below the provincial average, a municipality with no holes beats one that shines in a single column. Carmenes, holding Leon's longest 109 seconds, collapsed to 116th in the index because its sky statistic is 28.2%; Villabraz, which boasts the province's highest 56%, managed only 98 seconds and 25th place. Totality at Vegas del Condado was the first of this group to begin, at 20:28:03, and ended at 20:29:50; fourth contact came at 21:21:50.
