Eclipse 2026 · Spain
7 cities in Extremadura
In the Extremadura region, totality won't be visible, but 7 of the 7 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to badajoz, merida and plasencia as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places badajoz around 0% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to almendralejo, 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.
