The total #SolarEclipse on 12 August will be a low affair both for totality watchers in Spain (let alone Mallorca) and for maximum partiality watchers in Central Europe, so making sure you'll have a free horizon for solar elevations below 10° in the right azimuth is essential. And now is the time to test the location you have in mind as on the evening of 12 August the declination of the Sun will be 14°47' while on April 29 and 30 it will be 14°38' and 14°56', respectively, i.e. 9 arc minutes or 1/3 solar diameter lower or higher. So if you see the low Sun both today and tomorrow (and don't expect any more vegetation or buildings to materialize in the next 3 1/2 months) you can be sure that you can also see the totally or maximally eclipsed Sun on 12 August. (This dress rehearsal idea has already been promoted - e.g. in https://www.rac1.cat/meteo/20260428/341109/dimecres-pots-anticipar-gran-eclipsi-agost-lloc-veura-dia.html - in Spain.)
Joh, wat ik nou hoor: DAT klimaatgedoe kost ons ook nog geld! Belachelijk! Alsof het al niet erg genoeg is dat we niet naar Mallorca mogen vliegen om daar lekker gehaktballen te eten! Daar zou Wilders toch eens wat aan moeten doen.

Hey Fedi! I will be in Malloca for a few days very soon. In particular in Pollencia, but I'll have a car and the island isn't big.
I hope to spend most of it writing in an air conditioned hotel room or reading by a pool or on the beach and there's a boat trip planned.
But I should also try and talk to people and explore what the island has to offer I guess?
Anyone local wanna meet for dinner or drinks? Any events in the first half of this month worth checking out? Or anyone ever been there and wanna suggest something particularly fun or educational or meaningful they enjoyed?
What's the oldest thing on the island? What's the coolest? Where are the best bands? Shall we organize a Fedi Meetup?
