The climate of Westpunt (Curaçao)
Westpunt is a small village located in the northwestern part of
Curacao. Not many tourists visit this region. This is also why the
locals come here. Most of them stay in one of the holiday villas that
can be found here. Because Westpunt has a pebble beach the water is
very clear here. Local fishers dock their boats here and sell fish
from the beach, it doesn’t get much fresher than this. Around the
village several plantations can be found. Just like the rest of
Curaçao and the Leeward Islands Westpunt has a tropical savannah
climate characterized by a wet and a dry period. The second part of
the year is much wetter, humidity figures are higher then as well.
During this period there is a small risk of tropical storms and
hurricanes. Temperatures are constant all year round and there is only
little difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures.

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:
