Climate & Weather
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 by day. Total annual rainfall averages only 570 mm (22 inches). Additionally, Curaçao is located on the outer fringes of the hurricane belt. Consequently, the frequency of hits by tropical storms is much lower than for other parts of the Caribbean.




	The Curacao Island Approximately 4500 years ago, the first humans set foot on Curacao. They came by canoe from what is now Venezuela. It’s inhabitants today have a multiracial character and consist of descendants of African slaves, Indians, European colonists, and later immigrants from the Caribbean, South America, India, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The Antillean culture has emerged from many diverse cultures. The island has also changed from an agricultural to an industrial society. Since the fifties, the increase in tourism has contributed to more rapid modernization. The literacy rate is very high. Most Curacaoleans speak Papiamento, Dutch, English, and Spanish. The island is the capital of the Netherlands Antilles and an autonomous part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands is responsible for Defense, Foreign Affairs, and appeals through the Supreme Court. Curacao is located 1300 kilometers north of the equator, and is 61 kilometers long and varies in width from 5 to 14 kilometers. It has a current population of approximately 150, 000 residents
