About Sant Feliu de Llobregat
Sant Feliu de Llobregat is a municipality in Barcelona province, in Catalonia, situated at 81 meters altitude on the shores of the Llobregat river. With around 43,000 inhabitants, it is part of the Barcelona metropolitan area, just a few kilometers southwest of the city center. Its position in an open valley between the prelitoral mountain ranges and the delta plains gives it a relatively clear horizon towards the west.
For this eclipse
On August 12, 2026, Sant Feliu de Llobregat will experience a partial solar eclipse. Maximum will occur at 20:29, when the Sun will be just 4° above the horizon, in the west-northwest direction (286°). Although the verdict is visible with a margin of 3.1° above the topographic horizon, the low altitude of the Sun demands finding a location with a clear horizon in that direction to avoid missing the phenomenon.
The weather in August
August in Sant Feliu de Llobregat combines moderate heat with long, sunny days. Temperatures range from 19.9 °C minimum to 28.9 °C maximum, with an average of 24.4 °C. The month accumulates around 282 hours of sunshine and a 68% probability of clear skies, although average precipitation of 31.7 mm and a moderate thunderstorm risk mean one must account for the possibility of clouds in summer afternoons. Data: AEMET 1991–2020.
Past eclipses
The last total eclipse visible from Sant Feliu de Llobregat occurred on May 12, 1706, 320 years ago, with a totality of nearly four minutes. In 1901, on November 11, an annular eclipse covered 82.2% of the solar disk. After the eclipses of 2026, 2027, and 2028, one must wait until July 13, 2075, to see the next annular eclipse, with an obscuration of 87.5%.
Direction and altitude of the Sun
At maximum eclipse, at 20:29 on August 12, 2026, the Sun will be very close to the western horizon, at 4° altitude and with an azimuth of 286°, which is equivalent to looking toward the west-northwest. At that hour, the fading light of twilight will enhance the visual effect of the eclipse. It is recommended to position yourself at an elevated point with direct visibility in that direction to prevent buildings or vegetation from obstructing the view.

What the contact points (C1-C4) mean
A solar eclipse is described by four key moments, the contact points between the discs of the Sun and the Moon:
- C1First contact: the Moon touches the edge of the Sun and the partial eclipse begins.
- C2Second contact: the Moon fully covers the Sun and totality begins.
- C3Third contact: the Sun reappears and totality ends.
- C4Fourth contact: the Moon leaves the Sun's disc and the eclipse ends.
Where the eclipse is only partial, the Moon never fully covers the Sun: only C1 and C4 occur, with no totality in between.
