Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Friday midday 12:00 l.t., August 14, 2026.

Issued:
Thursday August 13, 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
Partly cloudy with predominantlyly dry conditions continuing as winds strengthen. Overnight, hazy conditions associated with Saharan dust will develop, leading to reduced visibility and a temporary decline in air quality. Forecast high will be 33ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:24 and sunset at 18:57.

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 westward-moving tropical wave over the ABC Islands is enhancing increased moisture and instability across the region, yet most of the shower and thunderstorm activity remains concentrated north of the islands. As a result, Curaçao will continue to experience predominantly dry conditions over the next 24 hours with a slight chance of a brief, isolated shower. Overnight, a strengthening ridge will enter the area, bringing moderate levels of Saharan dust that will produce hazy skies, reduced visibility and temporarily lower air quality. The arrival of this ridge will also lead to a further increase in wind speeds.

Sea conditions:
Moderate with wave heights between 1 and 2 meters (3 and 7 feet). By tomorrow, sea conditions are expected to become more agitated, particularly along the northern and eastern coasts, where wave heights may reach around 2.5 meters (8 feet).

Significant tropical weather systems:
A tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic (AL92) shows a high likelihood of developing into a tropical depression, with an 80 percent formation probability. Conditions are favorable for development at present, but are expected to become less conducive as the system nears the Windward Islands near Trinidad later this week. Curaçao remains outside the expected impact area, though continued monitoring is recommended.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Saturday midday:
Partly cloudy with predominantly dry conditions and fresh to strong winds continuing throughout the period. Hazy skies will persist as Saharan dust remains over the region, leading to reduced visibility.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

The next weather forecast will be issued on Thursday 17:00 l.t. (21:00 UTC).
