Aruba Weather Q & A

Q. Is Aruba windy?
A. This can be true at especially windy times of the year such as June, but mostly depends on where you stay since all hotels are on the leeward side of the island and the hotel buildings for the most part block you on the beach from the wind coming across the island. Average wind speed in June is 20 m.p.h. and in October and November it is only 13 m.p.h.

Q. Is Aruba outside of the hurricane belt?
A. Hurricane climatology of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba

July 15th, 2008

After the first Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival held in August of 2007, a wave of positivism got hold of the festival’s office. A fresh breeze of new music and unity through music filled the corners of Aruba’s attraction scenery.

As all of nature’s elements are unpredictable a strict evaluation was held by the Caribbean Sea Foundation to improve the next edition of the festival even more. Now she is proud to officially announce the next edition of the Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival to be held on September 5th and 6th on the grounds of Cas di Cultura.

Once again national and international artist will unite to provide two days of mind-blowing concerts. Following last year’s success, this year the festival will also feature an art exposition in the Expo Hall of Cas di Cultura and F&B stands on the festival site.
