Eclipse 2027: local times for 115 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.

75 of these 115 cities are inside the path of totality and 40 see a deep partial. Every figure comes from Solar Eclipse 2027: Times — 55 of these cities are lifted from the table it ships, and the rest are solved by running its own code, which has to reproduce all 55stored cities before it is trusted with one more. Both rest on the official NASA/GSFC Besselian elements for this eclipse, and both are re-checked against the app before this page deploys.

Where to watch it ranks the 75 cities inside the path by the totality you can expect to actually see: duration against how often the Sun there has been in clear sky in late July and early August, from NASA satellite records since 2001.
