Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Wednesday midday 12:00 l.t., May 27, 2026.

Issued:
Tuesday May 26 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
TATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO. Weather: Partly cloudy skies with conditions remaining generally dry. Widespread haze will persist, reducing visibility and affecting overall air quality. The strong wind regime will remain a defining feature of the local weather pattern. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:10 and sunset at 18:56.

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:
Residual moisture associated with a recently passed atmospheric disturbance remains present over the region, but the prevailing strong wind regime is preventing any significant cloud formation. The presence of fine Saharan dust further suppresses convection, resulting in predominantly dry conditions across our island. Hazy skies will persist with reduced visibility and a decline in air quality. Throughout the forecast period, the tightening pressure gradient linked to the Atlantic high will continue to generate strong and occasionally gusty winds.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights ranging from 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). The highest 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 Thursday midday:
Variably cloudy skies will prevail with conditions remaining generally dry. Hazy conditions will persist, reducing visibility and affecting air quality, while strong winds continue throughout the period. Moderate northeasterly swells are expected to reach the northern and eastern coasts by Thursday, leading to increasingly agitated sea conditions.
