Soria spread its best scores across two distant areas: north of the Duero, with Alcubilla de Avellaneda, and the corner bordering Zaragoza, where Monteagudo, Cihuela and Fuentelmonge pile up. Viana de Duero fell right between them, 27 kilometres from the second group, and its numbers share that in-between quality without suffering for it: 104 seconds of totality, one short of the provincial ceiling, and 40th of 183, with 54.2% of clear days worth 18th place.

Neither figure is the best in Soria; together they make 84.1 points and third place in the province, because the index rewards exactly the absence of a weak flank. Horizon clearance, 6.6 degrees, also lands slightly above the Soria median. Totality began at 20:29:22 and ended at 20:31:06, on a solar altitude of seven degrees, azimuth 284, and it set at 21:13:39 still partly covered. At 978 metres it belongs to the lower half of the Soria band by altitude, with an average August high of 28.8 degrees. The sky percentages condense thirty consecutive Augusts.
