Aruba's unique climate features
Aruba lies outside the Caribbean hurricane belt, making it less prone to tropical storms and hurricanes compared to other Caribbean islands. This geographical advantage contributes to its stable climate and popularity as a year-round tourist destination. The island experiences an average annual rainfall of only about 470 mm (19 in), making it one of the driest islands in the Caribbean. This arid climate has shaped Aruba's distinctive landscape, characterized by cactus-studded terrain and divi-divi trees. These grow in a unique southwesterly direction due to the constant trade winds.
