One thing about an eclipse that no one realises unless they have seen a total eclipse of the sun is that it only starts to get recognisably dark at 95 percent totality.
In Mallorca It will be more difficult to feel the darkness since it is 8 minutes before sunset, but the beauty will be incredible. In the north of Spain the darkness will be seen better.
I was only viewing 90% totality in New York last month and it was visibly less bright around 70%. It was distinctly unique from sunset, but I would say it was similar to after the sun sets behind the lowest skyscrapers but before it meets the horizon.
Im glad to hear that and we have a second change in 2027 and in 2028 one more but this time anular, I will make more videos about it with lot of details.
Tell me what is the main visual difference between photos of an eclipse and what the real thing looks like. Since you’ve gotten a chance to take in more than the awe of the moment.
@@sunsetssweden This one is too short and risky for me. I'm going to aim for 2027. Much longer, higher over the horizon. If I was rich, sure, I'd chase all of them.
@@miller-joel Im from Mallorca and I have my home in one if the few good spots , otherwise I could not afford it it gonna be to expensive, but in the Peninsula can be cheaper
Just witnessed my first total solar eclipse in my Mexico, grateful with life for that. Such an amazin experiencie, everything dark as night, literal stats could be saw. Cant wait to be there and be an eclipse hunter
I am very gratefull for this video. Im from Belgium, but i will 100% go to Spain to see this. Im not sure yet where exactly i would go, but thanks to you i consider Mallorca!!
You might be disappointed to hear the view will be poor from Spain in general, and especially in the Balearic Islands where the Sun will be very low, between 10 and 4 degrees above horizon and thus prone to distortion, refraction, pollution, and possible fog obscuring the view. While it’s risky, I’d recommend considering western Iceland where the eclipse will be happening at a reasonable 25 degrees above horizon, even if the weather may fail you. Because there’s always the 2nd August 2027 eclipse that is a much better reason to go to (southern tip of) Spain, essentially very unlikely clouds and a great angle of 36 degrees.
Thank you! 😊 Im gonna make more videos about the best places from where to see the eclipse in Mallorca since I come from there and I know all could happen. There is an Island of almost 1M people but in the Summer it can be 2M. The places where to see are very few , and they could close the roads due the massive affluence of people, Mallorca and Ibiza they are the places with the most chances of clear skies. It is a unique eclipse at sunset, and year later we have another chance with one total eclipse at 2027 at 11am.
August is one of the months with the clearest skies of the year. Mallorca and Ibiza have the most clear skies along the entire eclipse path. Yes, it is true that there is a risk since it is at sunset but I know Mallorca I come from there and I would say is 80% of success in the totality , 70% of success at sunset only 5% of dusty sky. In Iceland the chances clear skies are practically zero.On the other hand, I don't think there will be an eclipse at sunset so beatifull and with son many chances in long time. And there is real chances to see the green flash at the edges of the moon shadow. In 2027 with have another one in August in south Spain at 11am.
@@sunsetssweden While it is possible the view from Iceland will be fully blocked, usually at least one of the three peninsulas will have a visible view from the coast. I suppose I’ll mull over it still, best of luck in Mallorca or wherever you end up on the faithful day.
I'm 70 years old, and attempted to see my first total eclipse in Rochester NY last week. All I saw was the underside of some dark clouds. (damn!) Nothing much going on in the USA before my 90th birthday. (May not make that one!) So between now and then there's not much going on that I can access other than this one. Iceland easier to get to than Spain, but it looks like the probability of clouds is at least 50/50 in either place. I may just have to wait this one out...
It is very difficult to predict the weather, but in the Balearic Islands it is quite reliable in summer but it will be extremely crowded and hot 🥵 but no windy(Menorca the least crowded island) North Spain more cloudy but I would chose the rivera del duero in Valladolid area. Cheaper , traditional Spanish culture, less crowded, and less cloudy than the north. Iceland I would not take the risk with such big cloud coverage chances and the winds. Dont hesitate to ask me for more issues. Good luck for Iceland and Spain😎🇮🇸🇪🇸
Same here. Although the sunset spectacle on Mallorca might be truly unique. (There is however a higher likelihood of cloud cover the lower the sun is in the horizon)
I will be in Iceland. After the 2015 eclipse on the Faroe islands I fell in love with the Nordic culture. Of cause it was cloudy there but I secretly hope I can see an eclipse and an active volcano at the same time.
I'm from La Rioja and I've been following this for several years now...I already have my glasses and everything! I hope to see it from my house quietly (I live in an attic)
Chances of cloud cover for April 8 2024 were 80% for Montreal QC and 20% for Dallas TX but in fact it turned out the other way around: in Dallas the weather was cloudy although the clouds parted and people were able to see the eclipse; in Montreal the sky was cloudless the whole day long.
In my experience ( ive seen 6 total eclipses and 1 anular eclipse) the clouds start behaving differently when the sun is becoming obscured and the temperature drops , I was in la serena in chili and the images you show there was 1hour 20 before sunset(16:30), the sunset itself was also nice (17:57) and not clouded, but I think i prefer the sun being more up in the sky, cant wait to see this one!
My family often goes to Mallorca near the end of august, we’re thinking of going earlier so we hopefully can see the eclipse - it’ll be my first eclipse (last one in England was 1999).
Santa Ponça, Puerto Andraxt , Puerto Soller are the best spots, book in advance. There is more than 50% chances of success. This gonna me my first too , I will wacht on the south Mallorca since my home is there . Good luck and enjoy also the holidays 😎
Funny Spain is getting 2 solar eclipses in a row, one on Aug 12th 2026 and another on Aug 6th 2027, the second will only be a full eclipse in the south of the country, so it would be a cool time to visit Gibraltar
We watched the perfect totality in Dallas at White Park Lake......we 5 germans and a few american friends....To spain its not so far away......Totality at sunset will be amazing.....see you in 2 years
I can imagine how beautiful was👏🏻👏🏻, I was about to travel to Dallas actually to wacht the eclipse, but I couldn't finally , I guess I missed a good chance 🫣. This time in 2026 2027 2028 I have 3 chances in Spain. 26 and 28 finishing and sunset in Mallorca where I come from😎 I will upload more details, see you
It will also hit west Iceland, including the capital and there it would abt 4 hours before sunset The downside is that it's mostly cloudy there most of the time
Due the high risk of cloud cover in Iceland If I could afford it I would have a plan B or C, depending of the weather forecast. I would book 2 flight tickets to 2 different places, before that flights are sold out.
@@sunsetsswedenLmao I think they will be sold out a year before the eclipse. Even now, two years before the eclipse hotels in iceland advertise it and you can book a room
I saw totality in Vermont on April 8th and I really wanna see this one.. Totality while the sun is enlarged along the horizon then setting as a crescent will be a pretty amazing sight..
Santa Ponça , Puerto de Soller , Banyalbufar , Cap Blanc, Cap Salines, Cap Formentor are best places to see the totallity and Sunset. In he rest of the Island will be not visible or just the totallity but no sunset. Taking into account the population of the Island 2 million in summer it will be chaos for those who do not find a place early. Good luck😎
@@sunsetssweden Man I wonder if I should start booking. I always thought I will start doing it like a year before (summer 2025) but maybe it can be hard later on xD
Probably going to Iceland for this one, high risk of cloudy weather but I have also always wanted to go to Iceland for years to see the northern lights, volcanic landscapes and natural environment. Even if the eclipse is a bust, still would get the Iceland trip regardless.
Iceland is a great place, and a eclipse with volcano eruption woul be epic, I dont know if it would be possible to see northen lights too, but aniways I guess it will be same expensive as Balearic Islands, but if you change your mind ribera del Duero in Valladolid area is a good option in my opinion .Good luck 😎
The eclipse time in August is in the driest time of the year in Spain. I am optimistic above all, except in the Cantabrian mountain range. The Valladolid area also in the north seems very interesting to me.
Como español que soy, ni yo me atrevo a aconsejar que zona de la totalidad sería mejor para ver el eclipse. En la zona de la costa mediterránea no se verá el eclipse íntegro aunque si la totalidad, pero es más factible que haga mejor tiempo siempre contando con las típicas brumas , en cambio, en la costa norte si se verá integro justo antes de que el Sol se oponga por el horizonte, pero el clima "suele" ser más complicado. Difícil elección. Yo, aun estando en la zona de la totalidad, seguramente que me desplace a algún punto más alto de la costa, que es dónde vivo. Esperemos para entonces buenos cielos....y despejados!
@65guti es cierto que en el norte de España se apreciaría mas la oscuridad, que en las islas Baleares. Ibiza y Mallorca respectivamente son los lugares con menos posibilidad de cielo nublado de todo el recorrido del eclipse. Pero aun asi es una lotería porque el 12/08/23 en Baleares estuvo nublado al atardecer justamente. La zona de la ribera del Duero creo que sería una muy buena opción. Voy a seguir haciendo videos con muchos mas detalles e hipótesis de los diferentes escenarios posibles. Un saludo
@@Catroll111 Saludos. Utiel está dentro del límite de la totalidad , aunque apenas solo lo separan 5 kilómetros aproximadamente de la no totalidad. La totalidad solo dura unos 35 segundos. Sobre la zona creo que puede ser buena, ya que al estar al otro lado del prelitoral valenciano, mirando hacia el oeste hay buen horizonte sin zona montañosa. Después el clima dirá la última palabra. Buenos cielos!.
If I'm not mistaken there'll be another one in the south of Spain 2027. As the north is frequently rainy and cloudy I think there's a higher chance of seeing that one. There's still Palma, though, but anyway I think I'll be in a better position economically speaking to see that one, as I plan to have already settled in either Spain or Portugal by then.
Menorca would be a cheaper option to see eclipse plus sunset , but in the peninsula the ribera del duero in Valladolid area is the best option in my opinion , and is near Portugal. Good luck 😎
Good luck 😎 I hope is not too cloudy 🙏🏻 I will choose Mallorca unless the weather forecast shows very bad 3 days before. If so I will flight to a better place .
Thanks! I am planning to go to Spain to see that eclipse since like 10 years and I just now realised its around 8 pm... I wonder if it will "destroy" the effect or it will be even more beautiful having sunset and eclipse happening at similar times.
In north Spain still the eclipse can be seen in its entirety before sunset, but the problem is the cloud coverage the use to have. Valladolid area has more chances and still in the north. In Balearic island 8 min before Sunset, I will be there for sure😎, is more difficult find place, but even if is dusty day will not to the totallity, only after to the sunset with eclipse. Good luck
So what is the best area in Spain (no islands) to see the next 2026 total solar eclipse? Could you give me a ranking please? Although it’s in 2 years, I’m super excited as it will be my first solar eclipse.
1 Valladolid 2 Palencia 3 west side of the mountains north of Madrid I would avoid Cantabric coast and the east of the peninsula because in August summer storms usually form late in the day, right at the time of the eclipse, apart from the fact that the sun is lower in the east too .
Ibiza and Mallorca are the places with less chance of cloudy skies but it is at 8 minuts before sunset that makes it unique , but there is no possibility of movement. In Ibiza arround 30 second totality in Mallorca more than 1 minut. On the peninsula I would choose Valladolid 20-30 minuts before the sunset the area and is less crowded and cheaper and you can move with the car if cheking the clouds if they gonna be on the path.
@@jt_miami4446 Moving from one area to another by car in case there are clouds. Mallorca has 1 million inhabitants in the winter and at that time there could be 3 million. There are very few optimal places to view the eclipse due to the mountains. Roads will be cut off, it will be a real chaos for those who are not in a good place early on. On the peninsula you could travel with car tracking the clouths if they are in the way and it gonna be 20 min before sunsets so could feel the darkness better. You have to choose between feel the darkness on the peninsula or sunset with eclipse in Balearic Islands. Menorca could be less crowded but there more chances of clouths because the summer stomrs could be form in the end of the day in Cuenca and Teruel.
It is a fairly high percentage, although the darkness will not be very noticeable. You will be able to see the shadow of the leaves of the trees in the shape of a half moon. I am collecting data on cloud cover in Spain and Iceland. I'll post a new video in a few weeks. Good luck !😎
I wish you good luck in Spain, the 2026 eclipse will be a challenge to find a good place since it is at sunset. But the season is the driest of the year, although summer storms can form at the last hour of the day in the Sistema Bestico in Cuenca a Teruel provinces. There are many reasons to be optimistic.
@@sunsetssweden First of all, thank you for your blessings. I also hope to realize this dream in Spain. Success or not, Spain is still worth visiting. August in Cuenca a Teruel provinces may have good weather due to the Mediterranean climate. But in my opinion, I would rather choose Gijon, a coastal city on the Bay of Biscay. I don’t know if the weather conditions will be better. After all, seeing the sunset with eclipse is very romantic. This Saros sequence of total solar eclipses will also end in 2044, and for me, this is one of the few opportunities to see a total solar eclipse in Europe in my lifetime.
I will be in Mallorca for sure, unless the weather forecast is very bad. It's an eclipse at sunset and I could be very beautiful and with many chances of green flash on the edges. The other option is Valladolid area in the peninsula in an elevated area, with the possibility of moving by car according to the clouds. We have another chance on August 2, 2027 in south Spain with the longest total eclipse in the remainder of the century and 6 months after the longest annular eclipse in the remainder of the century that ends at sunset right in the west of Mallorca.
@@LoriMehler In one and a half year we have 3 eclipses in Spain. 2th August 2027 is also visible in other countries, the thirt one too and is 28th January 2028 but it can be bad weather in winter time in Spain.
Ovideo esta situado en una zona perfecta, el unico inconveniente es que hay un 60% de que este nublado. Yo iría mas hacia la costa y tendría un coche preparado por si hubiera nubes y evitarlas en el ultimo momento.
@@sunsetssweden I am thinking about Oviedo as well. I have never been to Asturias. With clouds you cannot really predict it until 2-3 days in advance. I learned this lesson this week.
@@Portuguesetraditionshe revisado el relieve de Ovideo y hay un zona montañosa al noroeste que es mejor evitar, lo mejor es la costa. Yo si fuese tu iria a zona de Valladolid en una zona elevada.
Esta en el límite de que se pueda ver la totalidad o no, por las montañas del oeste. Yo no correria el riesgo. La otra opcion es subir a una cima en donde no haya obstáculos. En la comunidad Valenciana Denia es el mejor sitio a nivel del mar. Mallorca a estar masificada pero si te organizas con antelación no habria problema. Si necesitas mas consejos no dudes en preguntarme ,un saludo 🫡

20 March 2015 was a 60% partial eclipse where i live and it did get noticeably darker.
It was considerably darker at 50%. It was eerie.
I have never had the fortune of seeing one, but I'm very much aware of this fact.
I was only viewing 90% totality in New York last month and it was visibly less bright around 70%.
It was distinctly unique from sunset, but I would say it was similar to after the sun sets behind the lowest skyscrapers but before it meets the horizon.

I would avoid Cantabric coast and the east of the peninsula because in August summer storms usually form late in the day, right at the time of the eclipse, apart from the fact that the sun is lower in the east too .
@@sunsetssweden Thank you so much! I’m really grateful for you responding to our comments :)
2 años faltan ya quiero que pase por encima de mi casa 🥹🥹
Ojalá tengas suerte, el eclipse estará bajo en el cielo casi al atardecer, es mejor evitar las montañas, un Saludo.
Will visibility of the corona be affected, being so close to sunset?
Probably it will be afected more in the Mediterranean sea than in the north Spain
What will be the best city or town in Spain to be at for this eclipse? Is Ibiza a good one or is there better ?
Ibiza and Mallorca are the places with less chance of cloudy skies but it is at 8 minuts before sunset that makes it unique , but there is no possibility of movement. In Ibiza arround 30 second totality in Mallorca more than 1 minut. On the peninsula I would choose Valladolid 20-30 minuts before the sunset the area and is less crowded and cheaper and you can move with the car if cheking the clouds if they gonna be on the path.
Menorca, for sure!
Menorca is one of the top places 🤩
@@sunsetssweden what do you mean by no possibility of movement?
@@jt_miami4446 Moving from one area to another by car in case there are clouds. Mallorca has 1 million inhabitants in the winter and at that time there could be 3 million. There are very few optimal places to view the eclipse due to the mountains. Roads will be cut off, it will be a real chaos for those who are not in a good place early on. On the peninsula you could travel with car tracking the clouths if they are in the way and it gonna be 20 min before sunsets so could feel the darkness better. You have to choose between feel the darkness on the peninsula or sunset with eclipse in Balearic Islands. Menorca could be less crowded but there more chances of clouths because the summer stomrs could be form in the end of the day in Cuenca and Teruel.
Can philadilphia see a partial of it
Yeah👍🏻 , but just a little www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/usa/philadelphia?iso=20260812
@@sunsetssweden ah thanks
I can’t wait to visit pain for the first time
I live in germany its gonna be 86% coverage for me :D i will go to spain in 2028
Book early if you choose Mallorca 😎 It will be very crowded, but the best place
I plan to travel south of Spain in August 2027 instead, totally will last 4 minutes 30 seconds near Gibraltrar.
I live in United kingdom, Birmingham, B23 and this is the percentage:91.76%
almost total, right?
go to Spain!
It's still fine in the UK
It is a fairly high percentage, although the darkness will not be very noticeable. You will be able to see the shadow of the leaves of the trees in the shape of a half moon. I am collecting data on cloud cover in Spain and Iceland. I'll post a new video in a few weeks. Good luck !😎
Wait until there’s more traffic in flights in 2026 lol
Alors, retour aux origines Majorque pour cette éclipse solaire totale. C'était nuageux à Cherbourg dans le Cotentin ce 11 aout 1999.
应该为这次日全食做准备了，爱好天文二十年有余，成功看过两次日环食和七次日偏食，从未见过日全食，第一次追日还是2008年的日偏食，两年后的2026年日全食就是同沙罗序列2008年日全食的再度重现。是时候为真正去追逐日全食做准备了！西班牙是个热情的国度，能在那里看人生中第一次日全食，一定很美妙
I wish you good luck in Spain, the 2026 eclipse will be a challenge to find a good place since it is at sunset. But the season is the driest of the year, although summer storms can form at the last hour of the day in the Sistema Bestico in Cuenca a Teruel provinces. There are many reasons to be optimistic.
@@sunsetssweden First of all, thank you for your blessings. I also hope to realize this dream in Spain. Success or not, Spain is still worth visiting.
August in Cuenca a Teruel provinces may have good weather due to the Mediterranean climate. But in my opinion, I would rather choose Gijon, a coastal city on the Bay of Biscay. I don’t know if the weather conditions will be better. After all, seeing the sunset with eclipse is very romantic.
This Saros sequence of total solar eclipses will also end in 2044, and for me, this is one of the few opportunities to see a total solar eclipse in Europe in my lifetime.
Bro any about india will have total solar eclipse news😊
Only in March 20th 2034 , In the north of India in the border with Pakistan😎 Nothing more in the 21st century
Would you recommend going to majorca then?
I will be in Mallorca for sure, unless the weather forecast is very bad. It's an eclipse at sunset and I could be very beautiful and with many chances of green flash on the edges.
The other option is Valladolid area in the peninsula in an elevated area, with the possibility of moving by car according to the clouds. We have another chance on August 2, 2027 in south Spain with the longest total eclipse in the remainder of the century and 6 months after the longest annular eclipse in the remainder of the century that ends at sunset right in the west of Mallorca.
@@sunsetssweden There are 2 solar eclipses in Spain the same year? I though it was only on the 12th.
@@LoriMehler In one and a half year we have 3 eclipses in Spain.
2th August 2027 is also visible in other countries, the thirt one too and is 28th January 2028 but it can be bad weather in winter time in Spain.
I hope i get there
This exact eclipse is coming to Montana in 2044.
¿En Oviedo dará para verlo?
Ovideo esta situado en una zona perfecta, el unico inconveniente es que hay un 60% de que este nublado. Yo iría mas hacia la costa y tendría un coche preparado por si hubiera nubes y evitarlas en el ultimo momento.
@@sunsetssweden Es que yo vivo en Portugal y Oviedo es más cercano de Porto
@@sunsetssweden I am thinking about Oviedo as well. I have never been to Asturias. With clouds you cannot really predict it until 2-3 days in advance. I learned this lesson this week.
@@pawelzielinski1398 And now join your problem planning with my adhd, and there you have a problem on planning
@@Portuguesetraditionshe revisado el relieve de Ovideo y hay un zona montañosa al noroeste que es mejor evitar, lo mejor es la costa. Yo si fuese tu iria a zona de Valladolid en una zona elevada.
They always say it’s not for 100 more years or whatever and look. 😂
This will be 3rd eclipse at PEI
At Iberian Peninsula?
Argentina pls
Im gonna watch it in Valencia, then i will get an eclipse sunset
I wish you good luck! Keep in mind the mountains, they could block the sun if you are too close.
@@sunsetssweden i will be in the mountains, I don't know yet if there will be anything blocking the view
Soy de Castellon
Buen lugar para verlo, esperemos que el tiempo acompañe
@@sunsetssweden Puede, pero creo que ire a Mallorca para visitarlo y asi tambien ver el eclipse mucho mejor
@@sunsetssweden O en castellon tambien se vera total al 100%?
Esta en el límite de que se pueda ver la totalidad o no, por las montañas del oeste. Yo no correria el riesgo. La otra opcion es subir a una cima en donde no haya obstáculos.
En la comunidad Valenciana Denia es el mejor sitio a nivel del mar.
Mallorca a estar masificada pero si te organizas con antelación no habria problema.
Si necesitas mas consejos no dudes en preguntarme ,un saludo 🫡
@@sunsetssweden Haber, tengo un pueblo en la localidad de castellon, a unos 700 Metros de altura, ahi podria verlo sin problemas?
I will look for a European boyfriend to go see him together .
Je vais chercher un copain européen pour aller le voir ensemble !!
Solicito Novio europeo para ir juntos a verlo
ISTHERE GONNA BE THE ECLIPSE IN FRANCE
It will not be visible the totality , only partial and in the south of France at 99% which is very good😎
