Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Friday midday 12:00 l.t., May 22, 2026.

Issued:
Thursday May 21 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
EMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO. Weather: Partly to occasionally mostly cloudy with no significant precipitation expected. Winds may occasionally become strong with slight haze. Forecast high will be 31ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:10 and sunset at 18:55.

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:
An atmospheric disturbance currently located over the ABC Islands is enhancing moisture levels and introducing slight instability. However, the prevailing southeasterly flow, combined with a strong wind regime, will limit significant cloud development. As a result, conditions will remain partly to mostly cloudy and relatively dry, though an isolated shower cannot be excluded. The Atlantic high-pressure system will continue to reinforce the strong winds across the region. Light concentrations of Saharan dust will slightly reduce visibility.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). The highest waves are located north and east of our island and open waters. For this reason, a cautionary statement for rough seas (Code Yellow) will remain in effect. Mariners are urged to proceed with caution and swimmers are advised to remain vigilant and avoid venturing far from the shoreline.

Significant tropical weather systems:
None.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Saturday midday:
Partly to mostly cloudy skies with generally dry conditions. Winds will gradually decrease through the period.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

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