Eclipses from Chaguanas, in short
From now to the end of 2035, Chaguanas can see 2 solar eclipses (all of them partial unless marked otherwise) and 5 partial or total lunar eclipses. The next time the Moon covers the Sun completely over the city itself is Saturday, 12 August 2045, 19 years from now. A total solar eclipse only darkens a strip a few hundred kilometres wide, so any one place sees one every few hundred years on average, while a lunar eclipse is visible from half the planet at once.
Weather is not included: these are clear-sky predictions. A partial solar eclipse must only be watched through proper eclipse glasses or a projector; see our eye safety guide.

Eclipse predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC: NASA Eclipse Web Site, Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses and Catalog of Lunar Eclipses (Espenak & Meeus): Besselian elements, path of totality tables and lunar contact times. City times are computed by us from those Besselian elements with the standard method (Meeus, Elements of Solar Eclipses), using a current estimate of ΔT (Earth-rotation correction) instead of the Canon's older extrapolation; they agree with NASA's own calculator to 0.1 s and with an independent Skyfield/JPL DE440 computation to within 15 s. Times are for sea level and ignore the lunar limb profile (a few seconds near the path edges). City coordinates: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
