Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Saturday evening 18:00 l.t., May 16, 2026.

Issued:
Friday May 15, 2026, 17:50 l.t. (21:50 UTC).

Weather:
May 15, 2026, 17:50 l.t. (21:50 UTC). CODE YELLOW: CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS. Weather: Clear to partly cloudy skies will prevail tonight with generally dry conditions. Tomorrow as from predawn, becoming partly cloudy to cloudy with a few showers possible into the morning. Day time however is expected to be sunny to partly cloudy, breezy at times with light to moderate concentrations of Saharan dust. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:11 and sunset at 18:53.

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 few embedded relatively small disturbances across the eastern Caribbean region are contributing to somewhat higher moisture levels, but the prevailing subsidence pattern will suppress significant cloud development, resulting in predominantly fair conditions with just a couple of passing showers over the area of our island. The high pressure difference associated with the Atlantic high continues to generate a steady strong wind regime. In addition, Saharan dust particulars are present in the atmosphere and will lead to reduced visibility.

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 mainly the northern and eastern coastal sections, with northeasterly swells producing breakers up to 2.5 meters (8 feet). Elsewhere, seas are lower but may still be locally moderate depending on exposure. As a result, a cautionary statement (Code Yellow) for rough seas remains in force. 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 evening:
Partly cloudy in general with brief showers over varying areas and persistent breezy.
