The climate of Willemstad (Curaçao)
Willemstad is located in the southeastern part of Curaçao and is the capital of the island. Willemstad is the largest city of the Lesser Antilles with a population figure of 140,000. The Lesser Antilles are among the Leeward Islands. Willemstad has a natural harbor: Schottegat, which can be reached via the St Anna Bay. Just like in the rest of Curaçao the main source of income is tourism. The historic center of the city is a Unesco preservation site. The Queen Emma bridge is a 168 meter long pontoon bridge and is the only floating draw bridge in the world. Several museums can be found in Willemstad, the most popular is the Curaçao museum. Most tourists stay in the Punda and Otrobanda suburbs. Otrobanda used to be known for its high crime figures. However, a large makeover during last century has made it a popular tourist destination. Willemstad has a tropical savannah climate with a wet and a dry period. The first few months of the year are much drier than the second part of the year. During the second part of the year there is a risk of tropical storms and hurricanes. However, chances of this happening are fairly small in the most southern part of the Caribbean. Humidity figures are high during this period causing things to feel muggy. The temperature of the sea is pleasant all year round.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
