Aruba weather by month


Source: Meteorological data for Aruba is based on weather statistics gathered for the 30-year period 1991 to 2020 from the closest weather station: Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA), also known as Aruba Airport, located less than 2km south of the capital, Oranjestad. Additional climate data is sourced from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Advice on the best time to visit a particular destination is based on average local weather statistics, when the weather conditions are generally better than at other times of the year. We consider high and low temperatures, risk of rain (and thunderstorms, etc.), amount of sunshine and sea temperature. For general outdoor activities we favour clear, rainless days with a temperature range between 18°C (64°F) and 27°C (80°F); and for hot-weather activities we favour clear, rainless days with a temperature range between 24°C (75°F) and 32°C (89°F). Often, the best times to visit correspond to high season and therefore involve higher prices.
