Count on Curaçao weather in February to deliver some of the warmest temperatures during the month in the Caribbean along with little rain.

The C island of the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao off the coast of Venezuela lies in one of the best weather areas of the Caribbean. It’s a great weather area because rainfall is usually sparse throughout most of the year, especially in February.

The island’s 450,000 visitors a year don’t make it nearly as popular as the 1 million or more who visit Aruba, according to the Caribbean Tourism Organization.

But Curaçao is growing in popularity as a stop on southern Caribbean cruises. It also has appeal for people who want the same weather as Aruba but less than half as many crowds. And it’s a great choice for travelers who have already visited Aruba.

Temperatures in February

Curaçao’s average high temperature in February is 86 degrees Fahrenheit or 30 Celsius, according to the Meteorological Department (of) Curaçao.

The average low temperature is 76 degrees Fahrenheit or about 24 Celsius. The low usually occurs at night.

The average water temperature is a balmy 79 degrees Fahrenheit or 26 Celsius. Seawater temperatures hover between the highs and lows of each day. Water is cooler in the mornings and warmer in the afternoons.

Although temperatures are near the low point of the year for the island, they are still above average for most Caribbean destinations during February.

They make Curaçao an attractive option for anyone who wants to get away from northern winters and spend time on a Caribbean beach.
