What you will see
Jomvu is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 14:10:19 local time, the Moon hides 30.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 13:03:36 and ends at 15:10:52, 2 h 7 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 57° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Jomvu.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,935 km north-east of Jomvu.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Bandarbeyla, about 1,946 km north-east, where totality lasts 2 m 11 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
