Curaçao is very close to the equator, which means that the island doesn't really know seasons. It’s almost always around 30 degrees Celsius. Sometimes there might be some rain, but the temperature is always good. There is no rain season. This combined with the nice Caribbean breeze makes Curaçao a very nice place to stay.
