Forecast

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

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

Weather:
Partly cloudy with sunny intervals and mostly dry conditions with a slight chance of a few early-morning showers tomorrow. Overnight, moderate concentrations of fine Saharan dust are forecast to move into the region, bringing hazy skies, reduced visibility and lower air quality. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 26ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:17 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 tropical wave currently moving across the ABC islands is generating elevated atmospheric moisture and instability, which is supporting significant cloud development. Despite this, most of the associated shower activity is expected to remain north of the islands and predominantly dry conditions should prevail over our island throughout the day. A high pressure gradient continues to sustain a strong and persistent wind regime. Overnight, a plume of moderate Saharan dust is forecast to reach the region, producing hazy skies and leading to reduced visibility and a decline in air quality.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough over the open sea 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 Saturday midday:
Light to partly cloudy skies are expected with generally dry conditions. Hazy skies will persist and winds are forecast to decrease slightly.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

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