The total solar eclipse of 2027 will take place on August 2, the longest total solar eclipse visible on Earth between 1991 and 2114. The extreme totality will take 6 minutes and 23.2 seconds, which can be seen in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
The total solar eclipse 2027 belongs to the Saros series 136 and will commence at the Atlantic Ocean and will go through Southern Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia. The longest time will be experienced in the area around Luxor, Egypt, where totality will take more than 6 minutes.
In local time, totality will occur around 13:30–14:00 CEST in Southern Spain, 14:00–14:30 EET in Egypt and Libya, and 15:00 AST in Saudi Arabia. Partial phases will be visible across most of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of North America and Asia.
The timing of the event is enhanced by close approach of the Moon to perigee and Earth to aphelion, which makes the Moon appear larger and makes the Sun appear smaller, producing a longer total eclipse. The eclipse is also near to the equator zone which also adds to the gradual motion of the moon darkness on the earth.
Cities such as Luxor, siwa, Chaffar Beach, and makkah are in the line of totality. The weather predictions show a clear sky in Egypt and Libya with some cloudiness along the Spanish and Moroccan coasts.
