Located in the tropics, just 12° north of the Equator, Curaçao has a warm, sunny climate year round. The average temperature is about 27° C (in the mid 80s F). Cooling trade winds blow constantly from the east, picking up in the spring months. The rainy season, which is between October and February, is usually marked by short, occasional showers, mostly at night, and continued sunny weather during the day. Total annual rainfall averages only 570 mm (22 inches). With no more than three degree's difference between average summer and winter air temperature and very low annual rainfall, the main factor affecting diving in Curaçao is the wind. The trade winds blow year-round, but are highest from January through April. The best dive months are June through November. Very little diving is done on Curaçao's north coast because of rough seas. However, for short periods between August and December, the water is calm enough to allow diving.

Dancing, jazz, island music, tropical libations and Karaoke: You will find this and more in Curacao entertainment. For a complete list of entertainment while you are there, be sure to pick up a K-Pasa Entertainment Guide. Escape to the Caribbean’s hidden treasure. Fall in love with world-class diving and beaches, invigorating outdoor adventure, and vibrant Curacao nightlife. Curaçao has been a major trade center for hundreds of years, so it's not surprising that stores are stocked with quality items from around the world. Stroll amidst exquisite, centuries-old buildings while ocean liners cruise up the channel cutting through the city, so close you could almost touch them. All this makes the Curacao shopping ambiance very special.
