A detailed weather forecast for the final Friday of September across Suriname paints a picture of consistently warm, humid conditions paired with scattered afternoon precipitation, varying slightly across different regions of the country.
The day begins across most populated areas with mild early-morning warmth combined with notable atmospheric moisture, especially during the early daylight hours. In Suriname’s capital city of Paramaribo, official temperature readings at the start of the day hover around 28 degrees Celsius. However, due to extremely high relative humidity reaching approximately 80 percent, the apparent heat index pushes the perceived temperature closer to 34 degrees Celsius. Gentle easterly breezes blow at an average speed of 3.7 meters per second, offering only minimal relief from the muggy, stifling conditions that persist through the early part of the day.
As the day progresses into the afternoon, temperatures climb further across the capital. Actual mercury readings are projected to land between 30 and 33 degrees Celsius, and the combination of rising heat and existing moisture will keep conditions feeling oppressive. During this afternoon window, the probability of precipitation increases significantly, with multiple meteorological sources predicting light scattered rain and passing rain showers across the region. Wind patterns will also shift in the afternoon, rotating from east to northeast and increasing slightly in intensity, with gusts and steady speeds reaching up to 5 meters per second.
Once evening falls, weather conditions are set to calm slightly across Paramaribo. Actual temperatures will dip to around 28 degrees Celsius, though high humidity will keep perceived temperatures near 32 degrees Celsius, so the warm, sticky conditions will not fully abate. Skies are expected to clear partially, transitioning to partly cloudy conditions by the early evening. Northeasterly winds will continue to blow, holding at a steady average speed of around 4 meters per second, and the evening period is forecast to be noticeably drier than the preceding afternoon hours.
This general weather pattern extends to other regions across the country as well. In the western district of Nickerie, the forecast matches the capital’s profile closely: light afternoon rain will give way to cloudy conditions overnight, with temperatures ranging between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius. In Sipaliwini, the large southern district of Suriname, conditions are projected to be slightly hotter than in northern and western areas, with maximum temperatures climbing as high as 36 degrees Celsius, though light rain is still expected to move through the region at points during the day.
