Saros cycle series 136 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, 56 of which are umbral (6 annular, 6 hybrid, 44 total). The first observation of the eclipse in the series was on 14 June 1360 and the most recent eclipse was a total eclipse on 22 July 2009, after which the next will be a total eclipse on 2 August 2027.

The longest totality was 7 minutes 7.74 seconds on 20 June 1955 (also the longest total eclipse of the 20th century) while the longest annular eclipse was just 32 seconds on 8 September 1504.

This series is currently producing the longest total solar eclipses of any active series. It produced the six longest total solar eclipses of the 20th century, three of them over seven minutes long. It also produced the longest total eclipse of the 21st century at 6 min 38.86 sec on 22 July 2009, and overall will produce the 21st century's three longest total eclipses. Each eclipse is getting slightly shorter and this series will be surpassed in total eclipse length by Solar Saros 139 (whose eclipses are getting slightly longer) on May 11, 2078. Saros 136 in turn surpassed the previous longest-eclipse series, Saros 133, with its member event on May 18th, 1901. It produced the most central total eclipse between the years 1209 and 2718 and the greatest magnitude of any eclipse since the year 540 on July 11, 1991.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 129.

Umbral eclipses Umbral eclipses (annular, total and hybrid) can be further classified as either: 1) Central (two limits), 2) Central (one limit) or 3) Non-Central (one limit). The statistical distribution of these classes in Saros series 136 appears in the following table.
