The climate of Saba (the Netherlands)
Saba is a small island in the Caribbean which until recently used to be part of the Dutch Antilles. Saba has been a Dutch municipality since 10 October 2010. The capital and the largest city on the island is The Bottom. The highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands is situated on the island; the Landschapsberg (Mount Scenery), which is a dormant volcano. Saba university, which is specialized in medicine, is very popular among Americans. These American students comprise about 10% of the population on the island. Saba is almost entirely covered with rainforest. Mass tourism hasn’t yet discovered the island so you can enjoy the peace and quiet here that is hard to find in the rest of the Caribbean. Saba has a tropical monsoon climate with the wettest period during late summer and fall. The average annual temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius. However, an ever blowing trade wind offers some cooling. The higher parts of the island are slightly cooler. For every 200 meters you climb temperatures drop about 0.5 degrees Celsius. During the evening temperatures also drop, which in combination with the trade wind may make you want to wear a sweater.

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:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
