Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Saturday midday 12:00 l.t., May 23, 2026.

Issued:
Friday May 22 2026, 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).

Weather:
ATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO. Weather: Partly to locally mostly cloudy skies, accompanied by slight haze, though conditions will remain predominantly dry. A firm wind regime continues and winds may strengthen at times. Forecast high will be 32ºC 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 possibly reaching near gale in gusts; force 6 to 7 (40 to 61 km/h, 22 to 33 knots).

Synopsis:
A relatively moist air mass remains in place over the region, but the presence of a ridge continues to inhibit significant cloud development. As a result, weather conditions across our island will stay predominantly dry and stable throughout the forecast period. Light concentrations of fine Saharan dust persist in the atmosphere, producing slight haze and reducing visibility somewhat.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1 and 2.5 meters (3 and 8 feet). The highest waves are located north and east of the 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 Sunday midday:
Light to partly cloudy skies with dry conditions prevailing. A higher concentration of fine Saharan dust is expected by Sunday, leading to hazier conditions and a noticeable reduction in visibility.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

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