La météo

Le ciel sera-t-il dégagé ?

Western Poland and the Baltic coast see mixed August weather; the bigger problem is how low the Sun is at maximum.

The deciding factor here is simply whether the sky is clear at the right moment. Check the forecast in the final 48 hours and, if you can, keep the option of moving to a gap in the cloud.

FAQ sur l'éclipse en Słubice & the Oder

Will Słubice see a total solar eclipse on 12 August 2026?

No. Słubice is outside the path of totality and sees a partial eclipse, with about 84.5% of the Sun covered at maximum. It is a striking sight through eclipse glasses, but the corona does not appear and the sky does not go dark. The path of totality crosses northern Spain.

What time is the eclipse in Słubice?

The partial phase begins at about 19:15 CEST and maximum — 84.5% coverage — comes at roughly 20:08 CEST. The Sun sets at 20:32 CEST, during the eclipse, so the later stages happen below the horizon — an open west-northwest view is essential.

Do I need eclipse glasses in Słubice?

Yes, for the entire eclipse without exception. Because the Sun is never fully covered, there is never a safe moment to look with the naked eye. Even at 84.5% coverage the remaining sliver is dangerously bright. Certified ISO 12312-2 / CE glasses stay on from start to finish.

Where should I watch from in Słubice?

The Sun is only about 3° above the horizon, so you need an open, unobstructed view to the west-northwest. Buildings, hills and trees in that direction will hide the deepest phase.

Will the weather be clear in Słubice on eclipse day?

Western Poland and the Baltic coast see mixed August weather; the bigger problem is how low the Sun is at maximum.
