Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Thursday midday 12:00 l.t., May 14, 2026.

Issued:
Wednesday May 13, 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR THE NORTH AND EAST COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO.

Weather:
STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR THE NORTH AND EAST COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO. Weather: Partly to mostly cloudy skies with generally fair conditions and a few isolated showers developing. Visibility may be slightly reduced at times, accompanied by fresh to occasionally strong winds. Forecast high will be 31ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:12 and sunset at 18:52.

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

Synopsis:
A weak atmospheric disturbance is moving westward across the ABC Islands, contributing to higher moisture levels and instability over the region. Nevertheless, the presence of light Saharan dust concentrations, combined with the influence of the Atlantic high-pressure system, will inhibit significant convective development. As a result, predominantly fair conditions are expected during the forecast period, although a few local showers may occur over parts of our island. During the past 24 hours, up to 8:00 a.m. this morning, the following rainfall amounts were recorded across our island: Punda 11 mm, Steenrijk 12 mm, Mahuma 14 mm, Ser’i Kokori 20 mm, Van Engelen 22 mm and Soto 28 mm.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). Above normal, wind driven waves continue to affect the northern and eastern coastal sections of the island, while northeasterly swells continue to produce breakers reaching up to 2.5 meters (8 feet), particularly along the north and east coasts. As a result, a cautionary statement (Code Yellow) for rough seas is in force. Mariners are urged to proceed with caution and swimmers are advised to remain vigilant and avoid venturing far from the shoreline.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Friday midday:
Partly cloudy skies with sunny intervals are expected, accompanied by generally dry conditions. The persistent tightening pressure gradient will continue to generate moderate to occasionally strong winds.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

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