Radisson climate - a reason to plan your trip now
Almost invariably, the weather is wonderful -- warm, sunny, dry, and breezy. There's no monsoon season and no threat of tropical storms -- the island is far outside the hurricane belt. The average annual temperature is 82F (28C), and no month of the year has an average high temperature lower than 85F (29C) or higher than 89F (32C). Lows range from 76F (24C) to 80F (27C). The sun can be hot, and its reflection off the white sandy beaches is blinding. Fortunately, the almost-constant trade winds make it easy to forget just how warm it is. Usually a godsend, these pleasant, gentle breezes can occasionally escalate to surprising gusts or sustained winds, so hold onto your hat. In September, though, you'll wish they were back. Tropical storms plaguing less fortunate islands far to the north suck away the trade winds during that back-to-school month, making Aruba as hot as any other spot in the Caribbean. Unless you fancy relentless heat with no relieving breezes, avoid visiting in September. The wind provides a collateral perk, too. It blows away annoying mosquitoes and other flying pests. When the breezes wane, it's time to bring out the insect repellent. Aruba's dry, though, so you'll never encounter the number of bugs that infest lusher islands. Rainfall averages about 18 inches a year, with most precipitation falling from October through January. Even then rains tend to be erratic and brief; it's rare for the sun not to shine most of the day. Another plus: The humidity is less oppressive in Aruba than in most of the Caribbean. Although not exactly Arizona, the island's more dusty than sultry. The warm trade winds that blow across Aruba will hit you as soon as you leave the airport terminal. Usually dry and steady, these breezes offset the strong sun and make for very pleasant conditions. Generally gentler in the morning, they gain momentum through the course of the day. When they gather some fury, watch out. You'll never see so many people holding onto their headgear. Hats with chinstraps are a must; in fact, in Aruba, chinstraps are practically shorthand for "in the know." Because the sun is so strong and the breezes make it easy to forget you are baking, SPF 45 is a must for all but the hardiest of tanners.
