Jaén
9 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with SRTM 30 m.
In Jaén province, totality won't be visible, but 9 of the 9 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to jaen, campina and linares as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places jaen around 0% cloud cover, well below the Jaén average.
The clearest western horizon belongs to martos, where the topographic horizon sits at just -0.5° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
