One of the most anticipated events of 2026 is the solar eclipse, set to occur in August. Many are planning to witness this phenomenon live, making it crucial to know the weather forecast for those dates as early as possible. Jorge Rey, a young weather forecaster from Burgos who specializes in the traditional “cabañuelas” method, has shared his prediction for the August eclipse across Spain.
“The cabañuelas indicate that during those August days, there will be heat, especially in the central, southern, and Mediterranean areas—it will be oppressive. In the north, we can expect calm, with good weather,” Rey explains on his YouTube channel, where he regularly posts forecasts.
When and Where Will the Eclipse Be Visible?
The eclipse is scheduled for August 12 and will be fully visible in several regions worldwide, including Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain. This rare event offers an incredible opportunity for many.
Experts predict that the total solar eclipse will move from A Coruña around 8:30 p.m. toward Palma de Mallorca, coinciding with sunset. The cities along its path where it will be visible include A Coruña, Bilbao, Burgos, Castellón, Cuenca, Guadalajara, Huesca, León, Lleida, Logroño, Lugo, Oviedo, Palencia, Palma de Mallorca, Santander, Segovia, Soria, Tarragona, Teruel, Valencia, Valladolid, Vitoria, Zamora, and Zaragoza. The southern half of the Iberian Peninsula will remain outside the eclipse’s path.
