Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Sunday morning 06:00 l.t., August 16, 2026.

Issued:
Saturday August 15, 2026, 05:00 l.t. (09:00 UTC).

Weather:
Partly to mostly cloudy with a passing shower possible. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:25 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 in gusts, sometimes reaching near gale; force 6 to 7 (40 to 61 km/h, 22 to 33 knots).

Synopsis:
A ridge pattern currently situated over the region is enhancing wind speeds. Within the prevailing easterly flow, low-level cloud patches will continue to move across the area, producing a few brief showers during the morning. As the day progresses, conditions will become predominantly dry again with hazy skies developing at times due to fine dust transported by the Saharan Air Layer. Throughout the night, a gradual increase in atmospheric moisture associated with an approaching strong tropical wave is expected to lead to increasing cloudiness, accompanied by a few to scattered showers tomorrow.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to fairly rough with wave heights of 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 to 8 feet). The highest waves are expected over all coastal sections. Therefore, a cautionary statement (Code Yellow) is in effect. Mariners should navigate with caution and swimmers should stay close to shore.

Significant tropical weather systems:
AL92, a tropical wave located just east of the Eastern Caribbean Islands, continues to produce gusty winds along with a broad area of showers and thunderstorms. The system is moving into a region of stronger upper-level winds and dry air and as a result its potential for development is decreasing.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Monday morning:
Increasing cloudiness is expected with periods of showers and occasional thunderstorms.

Forecaster:
Abraham.

The next weather forecast will be issued on Saturday 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).
