Eclipse 2027: local times for 55 cities

The Moon's umbral shadow reaches the Strait of Gibraltar in mid-morning — southern Spain (Cádiz, Gibraltar), Ceuta and Melilla — then crosses northern Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya before reaching Egypt, where near Luxor totality lasts a staggering 6 minutes 23 seconds — the longest on land until 2114. The path then clips a remote corner of Sudan and sweeps across Saudi Arabia (Jeddah, Mecca), Yemen and Somalia. Much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East sees a deep partial eclipse.

39 of these 55 cities are inside the path of totality and 16 see a deep partial. Every figure is lifted from Eclipse 2027: Local Times’s own shipped table — computed from the official NASA/GSFC Besselian elements for this eclipse — and checked against the app before this page deploys.

Contact times, magnitudes, obscurations and Sun altitudes are computed from the official NASA/GSFC Besselian elements for this eclipse (Fred Espenak) and cross-checked against independent published predictions; they agree to within a few seconds. Times shown are converted from fixed UTC instants into each city's local time. “Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC.” This is a reference and planning tool — verify critical timings independently before travelling.
