Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Saturday midday 12:00 l.t., May 30, 2026.

Issued:
Friday May 29 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
ATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO. Weather: Mostly clear skies through the day with cloud cover increasing by early tomorrow morning. Hazy cons will continue to reduce visibility and affect air quality. Meanwhile, a strong wind regime is expected to persist. Forecast high will be 31ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:10 and sunset at 18:57.

Winds:
Easterly and moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11 to 21 knots). Occasionally strong to possibly near gale in gusts; force 6 to 7 (40 to 61 km/h, 22 to 33 knots).

Synopsis:
A dry and stable air mass continues to dominate the region, enhancing a subsidence pattern and maintaining predominantly dry conditions over our island throughout the forecast period. Fine Saharan dust remains suspended in the atmosphere, leading to reduced visibility and a decline in air quality. Meanwhile, a significant pressure gradient associated with the Atlantic high is sustaining a strong wind regime.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). The highest wind-generated waves are expected over the northern and eastern exposed coastal and open waters. For this reason, a cautionary statement for rough seas (Code Yellow) remains in effect. Mariners are urged to proceed with caution and swimmers are advised to remain vigilant and avoid venturing far from the shoreline.

Significant tropical weather systems:
None.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Sunday midday:
Light to partly cloudy skies with conditions remaining predominantly dry. A light but persistent haze will continue to affect visibility and air quality, while winds are expected to ease slightly by Sunday compared with previous periods.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

The next weather forecast will be issued on Friday 17:00 l.t. (21:00 UTC).
