Synopsis:
The prevailing weather conditions over our region will be generally
clear to partly cloudy as a high pressure system along with a relatively dry and
warm southeasterly air stream is foreseen to persist during the next several
days. A weak tropical wave moving over the eastern Caribbean today could still
generate a few clouds and a light isolated shower during the daylight hours on
Wednesday.

Significant tropical weather systems:
Erin continues as a hurricane, currently
tracking north-northwestward over the western section of the Atlantic Ocean.
This tropical system poses no direct threat to the ABC Islands. Another tropical
disturbance, located over the Central Tropical Atlantic, has some potential for
development and a cyclone could form toward the end of the week or in the
weekend.
Special features:

positioned directly overhead Curaçao, reaching its zenith. This alignment
resulted earlier today in the highest possible solar radiation for the island.
Any cloud cover present at that moment may have slightly reduce the intensity of
sunlight. This phenomenon occurs twice annually, with the next occurrence
expected on April 21, 2026.
Outlook until Thursday evening:
Partly cloudy with sunny periods and an overall
dry weather. A plume of Saharan dust is expected to reduce visibility over the
