Issued:
Wednesday October 22, 2025, 17:00 l.t. (21:00 UTC).

Weather:
IONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN AND WESTERN COASTAL SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO. Weather: Mainly cloudy with chance of a few showers and isolated thunderstorms. Forecast high will be 30ºC, and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:26 and sunset at 18:14.

Southeasterly and gentle to moderate; force 3 to 4 (12 to 30 km/h, 7 to 16 knots). Occasional gusts fresh to strong; force 5 to 6 (31 to 50 km/h, 17 to 27 knots).

Synopsis:
Atmospheric instability persists across the ABC Islands, driven by residual tropical moisture trailing Tropical Storm Melissa, currently located northwest of the region. This moisture continues to support significant cloud development that could induce a few isolated showers and possible isolated thunderstorms over Curaçao. By tomorrow, a gradual reduction in wind intensity is expected as Melissa tracks northwestward. Nonetheless, lingering moisture will sustain variable cloudiness and showers with a chance of isolated thunderstorms.

Sea conditions:
Moderate seas with wave heights between 1 and 2 meter (3 to 7 feet) are expected. Occasionally, waves may reach up to 2.5 meters (8 feet) along northern and western coastal sections of our island. As a result, a Code Yellow advisory for rough seas remains in effect. Swimmers and mariners should exercise caution under these conditions. Additionally, swell activity is observed along the northern and western shores.

Significant tropical weather systems:
Tropical Storm Melissa is currently located in the central Caribbean Sea. The system is moving west-northwest away from the local area and poses no direct threat to Curaçao.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Friday evening:
Partly to mostly cloudy with a chance of an isolated shower and thunderstorm.

Abraham.
