Viewing the Eclipse from Madrid

Madrid lies within the path of annularity for the January 26, 2028 eclipse. Observers will see a spectacular "ring of fire" for approximately 9m50s.

Eye Protection Required Throughout

Unlike total eclipses, an annular eclipse is never safe to view without proper eye protection. The visible ring of sunlight can cause permanent eye damage. Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses at all times.

Weather Outlook

January in Madrid has 35% average cloud cover and temperatures around 7°C. Winter weather in Spain is more variable than summer, so have a mobility plan in case of clouds.

Where to Stay

January is off-season for most of Spain, so accommodation will be easier to find and more affordable than for the summer eclipses.
