Weather/Humidity in Aruba

[christo76]

This may be a dumb question because I know everywhere I look it states Aruba is always great weather and never varies... but...

I was expecting it to be warm and windy... 80-85 degrees and 15mph winds and sunny.

But when I look at the 10-day outlook its 90+ degrees with constant 25+ mph winds and cloudy to partly cloudy, and 75% humidity.

Is that typical or not for aruba?

There is even a call for scattered showers on thursday, but I am just going to ignore that and assume it will be a couple drops for a minute or 2.

Not that it would change my plans or anything, just curious and hoping all the great impressions of aruba have come in similar weather and this isn't going to be a freak weather period.

Every time I check the weather for Aruba before a trip, it says rain every day. Then I go and it doesn't rain once. Maybe someone else here can speak to why the weather forecast is so off for Aruba!

My forecast is that it will be blazing hot every day (90) with a breeze and then warm (80) and breezy at night. Enjoy!

The weather forecast always says that....and it doesn't happen, especially this time of year. You can get a stray sprinkle on Eagle beach and the sun is shining on Palm beach.

The weather is very consistant with high 80's, a constant breeze with 15-20mph winds (although you do get some stronger gusts), and I think it's a bit humid...my hair gets frizzy no matter what I do to it so regardless of everyone saying it's not humid there, it IS...my hair doesn't lie!

Have a great time and don't LOOK AT THE WEATHER REPORTS!

Just got back last night - it is hot, maybe 90, and humid - typical for Aruba. The one notable weather item for the week was the wind - even for Aruba, it was brutal, car doors blowing right out of your grip, glasses and stuff flying off tables where there is outdoor dining...it had to be at least 35 mph at times, maybe worse.

Managed to have a great time anyway, lol.

Hi Christo

no dumb questions here in TUG. Just people trying to enjoy their vacations. Sometimes the wind really blows, but if it didn't I think that the people would be very hot and uncomfortable. We were there in March and did have 5 minute showers several times. Everyone enjoyed the cooling off time and we never left our seats. We've gone to Aruba many, many times and luckily never experienced anything but delightful weather. Don't sweat the small stuff!
