Rain in Aruba falls mainly over night and early in the morning. That is not to say you will not have a passing shower during the day however they are usually brief and generally last 10-20 minutes. We hardly ever leave the beach during a shower taking cover under a beach palapa or going into the ocean.

Welcome to the forum.

[Andrea J.]

if you read the first post you will see that the average rainfall in october is 2.6".
this past october (2010) is one that was NOT normal, neither was November, or December.

Do not worry about the October weather.
Where else would you consider going in the Caribbean where the weather could be better? Lots of the other Caribbean islands are in the hurricane belt.

Do lots of reading of this website and try to not think about weather.

Just got back from Eagle Beach and it was a fantastic day! What a difference in temperature - I left New Jersey at 4deg and arrived in Aruba at 87deg...

The sun was shining brightly today with only hints of clouds and the breeze has returned.

Anyone for a Balashi?
