Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Thursday morning
06:00 l.t., June 4, 2026.
Issued:
Wednesday June 3, 2026, 05:00 l.t. (09:00 UTC).
Weather:
TATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN AND
EASTERN COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO.
Weather: Mostly cloudy and hazy conditions with generally dry weather and a
persistent strong wind regime. Moderate to occasionally strong concentrations of
fine Saharan dust will continue to reduce visibility and degrade air quality.
Forecast high will be 31ºC and the low will be 27ºC.
Sunrise will occur at 06:10 and sunset at 18:58.
Winds:
Easterly and moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11 to 21
knots). Occasionally strong to possibly near gale in gusts; force 6 to 7 (40 to
61 km/h, 22 to 33 knots).
Synopsis:
A dry and arid climate will continue to dominate the course of the
weather today. Notwithstanding this, increasing moisture levels this morning
will favor an increase in cloudiness over the region. Nevertheless chances for
rain today will remain on the lower side. Elevated concentrations of fine
Saharan dust will continue to reduce visibility and degrade air quality across
the ABC Islands. At the other hand, extension of an area of high pressure
over the North Atlantic Ocean maintains a large pressure difference resulting in
strong trade winds and causing fairly rough seas. For these reasons, there the
two cautionary statement (Code Yellow) remains in effect for excessive Saharan
dust and rough sea conditions.
Sea conditions:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5
meters (4 and 8 feet). The highest wind-generated waves are expected mainly to
the north and east of the island and over the open sea. For this reason, a
cautionary statement (Code Yellow) for rough seas is in effect. Small-craft
operators are advised to remain close to the coast due to reduced visibility
associated with Saharan dust, while 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 Friday morning:
Variably cloudy conditions, ranging from partly to
mostly cloudy with generally dry weather and persistent haze. Fresh to strong
winds will continue throughout the period. Saharan dust concentrations are
expected to gradually diminish by Thursday.
Forecaster:
Correa.
The next weather forecast will be issued on Wednesday 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).
