Vejret i Palm Beach (Aruba beaches) i marts

Curaçao has a desert climate and roughly 340 sunny days a year; March sits at about 27°C by day and 25 overnight, with the sea at 27. The forum's recurring subject is the trade wind, and the record puts it in perspective: it blows here all year, never averaging below about 29 kph, with the stronger stretch running February through July and peaking in May at 37. March, at 34.5, is in the windy half without being the worst of it. Most visitors treat it as the thing that makes the heat bearable rather than a nuisance, and the island's hills — especially towards the west end — block a good deal of it. Sunscreen is non-negotiable.

Aruba forum threads describe Palm Beach in January as beautiful, with daytime highs around the mid-80s Fahrenheit cooling to the high-70s overnight - cool enough that posters recommended packing a light wrap for evenings. Rain here is real but brief, typically overnight or early morning bursts rather than daytime disruptions. One local detail specific to Palm Beach: mornings bring genuinely clear water, but once the watersports boats get going later in the day, the water clouds slightly with stirred-up sand near the busier stretch by the Marriott - still fine for swimming, just not glass-clear. Posters also noted Palm Beach stays notably calmer than Eagle Beach, which tends to run rougher this time of year.

Forum posters call January terrific - typically 86F highs and 76F lows - with one visitor's 11-day early-January stay reporting beautiful low-80s weather and just a single hour of rain the entire trip. Aruba's famous trade winds are a near-constant topic: genuinely strong, but described as an off-shore wind that the island's tall hotels and buildings largely block along the beach itself, so Palm Beach's high-rise strip stays relatively sheltered compared to more exposed stretches of coast. Posters consistently describe the breeze as a welcome, cooling relief from the heat rather than an unpleasant sand-blasting nuisance, especially by late January into February.
