Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Tuesday midday 12:00 l.t., June 2, 2026.

Issued:
Monday June 1 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR EXCESSIVE SAHARAN DUST IS IN EFFECT FOR CURAÇAO. Weather: Partly cloudy and predominantly dry conditions will prevail with hazy skies persisting as Saharan dust reduces visibility and degrades air quality. Later today and into tomorrow, winds are expected to strengthen. Forecast high will be 31ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:10 and sunset at 18:58.

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:
Some residual moisture from a recently passed tropical wave continues to produce a few localized showers around the ABC islands. As the day progresses, an intrusion of drier air will settle over the region, bringing predominantly dry conditions. Moderate to occasionally dense Saharan dust will also move across the area, suppressing convective development and causing hazy skies with reduced visibility and a decline in air quality. As a result, a cautionary statement (Code Yellow) for excessive Saharan dust is in effect. By late afternoon, an increasing pressure gradient related to the Atlantic high will generate a strong wind regime.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to locally fairly rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2 meters (4 and 7 feet). The highest wave action is expected over the northern and eastern open waters. Boaters should be aware of the significantly reduced visibility and not to venture far from the coasts.

Significant tropical weather systems:
None. Today, June 1, marks the official start of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season. As in previous years, the Meteorological Department Curaçao will closely monitor all tropical disturbances that could pose a threat to our island, issuing warnings to the public and local authorities whenever necessary. The list of names assigned to this season’s tropical storms and hurricanes includes Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias, Josephine, Kyle, Leah, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paulette, René, Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Wednesday midday:
Partly to at times mostly cloudy skies will prevail with conditions remaining largely dry. Hazy weather will persist under fresh to strong winds, while wind-generated waves will lead to agitated seas.

Forecaster:
Kasmani

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