Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Thursday midday 12:00 l.t., May 28, 2026.

Issued:
Wednesday May 27 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 cloudy skies with conditions remaining predominantly dry. Widespread haze is expected to persist, leading to reduced visibility and degraded air quality. A fresh to strong windregime will continue to affect the area. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:10 and sunset at 18:56.

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 rather dry and stable air mass has now settled over the region, inhibiting significant cloud development. The presence of fine Saharan dust further suppresses convection, resulting in predominantly dry and hazy conditions across our island. Hazy conditions will persist with higher concentrations of Saharan dust expected by tomorrow, resulting in reduced visibility and degraded air quality. Meanwhile, a high pressure difference from the Atlantic high continues to generate a fresh to strong windregime.

Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights ranging from 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8 feet). The highest wind-generated waves combined with incoming northeasterly swells are expected over the northern and eastern exposed coastal and open waters. For this reason, a cautionary statement for rough seas (Code Yellow) remains 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 Friday midday:
Variably cloudy skies with conditions remaining generally dry. Hazy conditions are expected to persist, leading to reduced visibility and degraded air quality. Winds are expected to ease slightly by Friday.

Forecaster:
Kasmani.

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