Weather:
May 16 2026, 17:00 l.t. (21:00 UTC). CODE YELLOW: CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS. Weather: Generally partly cloudy with no precipitation expected for the rest of today.

Synopsis:
Although atmospheric conditions are favorable for significant clouds to continue passing over our region, no significant precipitation is expected on our island for the rest of today. However, during tomorrow morning there is a chance for a local shower. In addition, the high pressure system over the Atlantic continues to create strong winds with locally rough seas. Also, concentration of fine Saharan dust keeps the visibility slightly reduced.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). The highest waves are located north and east of our island. For this reason, a cautionary statement for rough seas (Code Yellow) is in force and advises swimmers and sailors to exercise caution.

Significant tropical weather systems:
None.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Monday evening:
Partly cloudy, mostly dry with reduced visibility and breezy.
