STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO Weather: Partly to locally mostly cloudy and generally dry with occasionally brisk winds. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:11 and sunset at 18:54.

Synopsis:
A disturbance of low pressure positioned west of the ABC Islands is drawing additional moisture into the region. Most of the shower activity, remains however north of the islands and we will see a rather dry condition with only an isolated brief shower developing. The tightening pressure gradient continues to support a strong wind regime.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to locally quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). The highest wave action is concentrated over the north and east near coastal and exposed 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.
