Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Friday midday 12:00 l.t., April 10, 2026.

Issued:
Thursday April 9, 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
LLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO. Weather: Mostly to at time partly cloudy skies will prevail with conditions remaining fair and generally dry, accompanied by fresh to strong winds. A plume of fine Saharan dust will lead to hazy conditions, reducing visibility. Forecast high will be 30ºC and the low will be 26ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:27 and sunset at 18:48.

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 relatively dry and stable air mass is present over the region, suppressing significant cloud development. Some low-level moisture is enhancing cloud patches, producing predominantly mostly cloudy skies at times. Conditions are expected to stay predominantly dry throughout the forecast period, although haziness will persist due to fine Saharan dust suspended in the air mass. A tightening pressure gradient from the Atlantic high continues to maintain fresh to strong winds across the region.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough over open waters with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). Due to a combination of locally wind-generated waves and incoming northeasterly swells, conditions remain unsettled around our island with wave heights of up to 2.5 meters (8 feet). As a result, a cautionary statement for rough seas (Code Yellow) remains in effect. Mariners operating small vessels should navigate with caution and swimmers are urged to remain vigilant and avoid venturing far from shore.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Saturday midday:
Partly cloudy skies are expected with conditions remaining generally dry. Winds will gradually ease through the period.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

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