Verdict
Hot and calm; Tula Day remembers the 1795 revolt on 17 August.
Weather in August
- Whole island · Willemstad, Banda Abou, south-east coasthot
Semi-arid, 27–32 °C with a steady trade wind. The short rainy season (Oct–Jan) brings showers and the odd flooded road; the rest of the year is dry. Curaçao lies south of the main hurricane tracks, though passing storms can bring swell, rain and flight disruption.
