Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Saturday midday 12:00 l.t., July 11, 2026.

Issued:
Friday July 10, 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
Partly cloudy skies, accompanied by widespread haze due to suspended Saharan dust. Conditions will remain predominantly dry. A strong wind regime will persist today, easing gradually from tomorrow. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:18 and sunset at 19:05.

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 broad ridge continues to dominate the region, suppressing significant cloud development and maintaining largely stable conditions over our island. Subsidence associated with this pattern will favor predominantly dry weather throughout the next 24 hours. The associated high pressure difference will persist, producing fresh to strong winds at times, though these are expected to ease gradually from tomorrow. In addition, moderate concentrations of fine Saharan dust will persist, leading to hazy skies, reduced visibility and a decline in air quality.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 to 8 feet). The highest wind-generated waves are expected over all coastal sections of the island and over the open sea. For this reason, a cautionary statement (Code Yellow) for rough seas is in effect. Mariners should navigate with caution and swimmers are urged to stay vigilant and avoid venturing far from the shore.

Significant tropical weather systems:
None.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Sunday midday:
Variably cloudy with skies ranging from partly to mostly cloudy and periods of early-morning showers possible on Sunday. Winds are forecast to decrease further.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

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