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.
Forecaster:
Coffie
The next weather forecast will be issued on Saturday 05:00 l.t. (09:00 UTC).
