Weather Remains Unstable

In an island where the weather is very boring – sunny and eighties – we surely are experiencing unstable weather as of late. Overcast and tropical rain showers (short and stiff) are common these days. As I mentioned in earlier posts, despite of this fact there’s still enough sun-hours for your enjoyment.

I tried to figure out what the specific reason for this kind of weather, but other than blaming a tropical depression, I couldn’t find anything special.

The same kind of rainy streak happened about three years ago and this prompted many people to start doubting if people should continue to state that “it never rains in Aruba”. I never supported this “never rains” claim anyway, but fact is that it rains 17 inches average on this island and it is unevenly distributed during the year. In other words, it might rain more at the end of the year. Experts then blamed it on the weather phenomenon “La Nina”.

After the above mentioned rainy period passes, the drought comes with a vengeance. It goes months on without a single drop of rain. It gets scorching hot. It surely is going to happen once more in the following months.
