Will the 2027 eclipse be total in Caluula?
Yes. Caluula is inside the path of totality on 2 August 2027, and totality lasts 4m 15s, from 13:59:00 to 14:03:16 local time.
What time is the eclipse in Caluula?
Maximum eclipse is at 14:01:08 local time (Africa/Mogadishu). The partial phase begins at 12:41:31 and ends at 15:12:07.
Will terrain block the view?
Almost certainly not. The Sun is 56.2° above the horizon here at maximum, so an obstruction would have to be extraordinarily close and tall. That was the decisive question for the 2026 eclipse, when the Sun was nearly setting, and it will be again for the January 2028 annular eclipse.
