About Utrera
Utrera is a municipality in the province of Seville, in Andalusia, located in the plains of the Guadalquivir at just 52 metres above sea level. With over 52,000 inhabitants, it is one of Spain's most extensive municipalities in terms of area. Its position on the Sevillian plains, south of the provincial capital, affords it a broad, clear horizon towards all cardinal directions.
For this eclipse
On 12 August 2026, Utrera lies outside the path of totality of the solar eclipse: from here, a partial eclipse will be seen. Maximum will occur at 20:37 local time, when the Sun will have descended to 7.1 degrees above the horizon, oriented towards the west-northwest (283°). The clearance with respect to the topographic horizon is 7.2 degrees, so the Sun will be visible, although its low altitude requires finding an observation point free of obstacles to the west.
The weather in August
August in Utrera is marked by markedly Mediterranean continental weather: average temperature of 27.5 °C, with highs often exceeding 35 °C and nights that rarely drop below 20 °C. The average precipitation for the month is just 1.1 mm, and the risk of thunderstorms is considered low. With a probability of clear skies of 83% and over 344 hours of sun per month, conditions for daytime observation are generally favourable. Data: AEMET (1991–2020).
Past eclipses
The last total eclipse visible from Utrera occurred on 22 December 1870, 156 years ago, with a duration of totality of 96 seconds. The most recent annular eclipse took place on 1 April 1764, 262 years ago. After the eclipses of 2026, 2027 and 2028, one must wait until 13 July 2075 for the next annular eclipse visible from this area, and until 20 June 2327 for the following total.
Direction and altitude of the Sun
At the moment of maximum eclipse, the Sun will be at 7.1 degrees of altitude above the horizon and at an azimuth of 283 degrees, which corresponds to a direction practically towards the west-northwest. At that time of afternoon—20:37—the celestial body will be on its descending path towards sunset, so any obstacle in that sector of the horizon, such as buildings or trees, could interfere with observation.

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.
