Weather:
May 20 2026, 17:00 l.t. (21:00 UTC). CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS. Weather: Generally partly cloudy and dry for the rest of today. Visibility remains slightly reduced and wind will be occasionally strong. Forecast high will be 31ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:11 and sunset at 18:54.

Synopsis:
Despite a relatively humid atmosphere, mainly north of the ABC islands, this related to a disturbance in our area, a generally dry weather is expected on our island during the next 24 hours. Also, the high pressure system over the Atlantic continues to create strong winds with locally rough seas. In addition, concentration of fine Saharan dust keeps the visibility slightly reduced.

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 our island. For this reason, a cautionary statement for rough seas (Code Yellow) is in force and advises swimmers and sailors to exercise caution.

Significant tropical weather systems:
None.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Friday evening:
Partly to occasionally mostly cloudy with a chance of a shower during the morning hours.
