On Monday 2 August 2027, the eclipse is partial in Faro (Portugal). The Moon starts to cover the Sun at 8:40 AM, hides 99.2% of its surface at 9:45:09 AM and leaves it at 10:56 AM. All times are local time (UTC+1). At maximum the Sun stands 36° above the horizon, to the east.
A partial eclipse never gets dark, even a deep one: one percent of the Sun is still thousands of times brighter than the full Moon. The corona, the stars and the 360° twilight only appear inside the path of totality. From Faro, the nearest city on our list inside the path is Cádiz, 156 km away, where totality lasts 2 min 48 s.
Eclipse glasses stay on from the first second to the last: at no moment in Faro is it safe to look at the Sun with bare eyes.
