Balearic Islands
11 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM.
In Balearic Islands province, totality will cross 9 cities, 9 of them at sunset. The other 2 will see a significant partial eclipse.
Historical weather data points to mao, llucmajor and ciutadella as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places mao around 0% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to sant antoni de portmany, where the topographic horizon sits at just -0.1° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
