Also means
probably
Usage Note
Seguramente is a false friend in degree: it does NOT mean 'certainly'. It typically expresses probability, closer to 'probably' or 'I would guess'. It frequently triggers the subjunctive when the speaker is speculating — Seguramente venga mañana — vs the indicative Seguramente vendrá mañana for higher confidence.
Examples
"Seguramente lloverá esta tarde."
Natural Translation
It will probably rain this afternoon.
