Climate in Netherlands Antilles and weather forecast - best seasons for visit
The Antilles are a real paradise on earth. The weather here is almost constant throughout the year. Therefore, the tourist season lasts all year round; with the only exception being the north-western regions. This is due mainly to the fact that there are prolonged showers and destructive hurricanes in this region from the beginning of August to the end of October. During the rest of the year, the islands can be quite calm for touring. On the other hand, the highest influx of tourists to the Antilles resorts is observed at the end of winter and lasts until the end of May. It is during this period that the weather on the islands is maximally suited for beach holidays. The climate is stable and the temperature rises to 25-26°C. At the same time, there is no exhausting heat, as a refreshing breeze constantly blows from the sea. It should be noted that in late spring, half-hourly rains are witnessed almost every day at noon in some regions. However, this as often as not, does not affect a vacation because the soil instantly dries up after the rain. The water in the sea does not cool down, and the sun continues to warm up as well.

It is worth noting that the islands themselves are considered part of the European Union. The local population has the right to enter the territory of other EU member countries, work and reside on their territory. This also applies to economic interests. As long as the Antilles apply the import tariffs, they will be able to conveniently export their goods through the territory of the European Union, which is extremely beneficial for the islands. However, they are exempted from compulsory Dutch taxes, and European Union taxes.
