Minute by minute

Local time in Adra (CEST). The light fades for over an hour before totality; the last minutes go fast.

Close to the edge. Adra is only about 8 km inside the path. Right at the edge, the mountains and valleys on the Moon's rim move the real line by up to a kilometre or so, and totality gets short fast. For the full show, go a few kilometres towards the dashed centre line on the map.
Gold band: the path of totality. Dashed line: the centre of the path, where totality lasts longest.

Will the Sun be clear at 10:50?

Good odds of a clear view. Around 10:50 from 21 July to 14 August, the sky over Adra is on average 74% free of cloud: roughly the chance that the Sun is clear when the eclipse peaks.

Clear or nearly clear in 12 of 17 years on the day itself (Almería airport weather reports). One day is luck; the 74% above averages every day from 21 July to 14 August. How: NASA POWER hourly cloud data (2001–2025), corrected to match the weather reports of the 66 airports we checked (NOAA ISD, 2006–2025); NASA alone was up to 20 points too sunny along the Strait of Gibraltar. A real forecast exists about a week before: we'll add it here.

Keep your eyes safe

Before and after totality

Look at the Sun only through eclipse glasses or a solar viewer made to ISO 12312-2. Sunglasses are not enough, even at 99%.

During totality

Once the last bead of sunlight disappears, take the glasses off and look. Put them back on the moment the Sun's edge reappears.

Cameras and binoculars

Never point binoculars, a telescope or a camera lens at the partial Sun without a solar filter on the front.

Adra eclipse: questions

It starts at 09:43 and ends at 12:04 local time (CEST). Totality runs from 10:49:51 to 10:51:38.

1 min 47 s. Adra is near the edge of the path; Fuengirola (145 km) gets 3 min 11 s.

Nobody can know that until about a week before. From history: around 10:50 in late July and early August, the sky over Adra is on average 74% free of cloud, so roughly a 74% chance that the Sun is clear when the eclipse peaks. That is NASA satellite-based cloud data corrected with nearby airports' weather reports.

The Sun will be 41° above the horizon in the east, so pick a spot with an open view that way: a beach, a rooftop terrace or a hill. At that height buildings rarely get in the way.

Yes, for everything except totality itself. Use glasses or viewers made to ISO 12312-2. During the 1 min 47 s of totality you can look without them.
