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

Issued:
Friday May 15, 2026, 05:00 l.t. (09:00 UTC).

Weather:
May 15, 2026, 05:00 l.t. (09:00 UTC). CODE YELLOW: CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS. Weather: Partly cloudy with predominantly dry conditions. Visibility may be slightly reduced at times due to light haze, while fresh to strong winds continue to affect the area. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:12 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 dry air mass will remain over the region over the next 24 hours, supporting generally fair and mostly dry conditions across our island. Slight haze, related to fine Saharan dust may be present at times. Meanwhile, a tightening pressure gradient associated with the Atlantic high will maintain a strong wind regime over the region.

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 the northern and eastern coastal sections, with northeasterly swells producing breakers up to 2.5 m (8 ft). 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.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Sunday morning:
Partly cloudy skies with generally dry conditions prevailing. The persistent tightening pressure gradient will continue to generate moderate to occasionally strong winds.

Forecaster:
Abraham.

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