Do hurricanes occur on Bonaire?

The north-east wind has an average speed of 7 m / s on the island. February, March and August are the windiest months on the Dutch diving island. Bonaire is outside the hurricane zone and therefore has no problems with tropical storms, hurricanes and tornadoes.

Because Bonaire is outside the 'hurricane belt', the Leeward Island will usually not suffer any direct negative consequences from the natural disasters on the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. But indirectly the hurricane season influences the weather on Bonaire. For example, the days can be windless and dry, alternating with heavy rain showers.

If you compare the three ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao), Aruba has the most and the strongest wind on an annual basis. This is because of the geographical position of Aruba.

Dangers of the sun

The fact that the Sun often shines on Bonaire is obviously very pleasant. You also need to protect yourself well from the sun. The Bonaireans themselves avoid the hottest moment of the day (between 12.00 and 14.00). They remain in the shadows.

In order not to get into health problems, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids - even when you are not thirsty: preventative drinking. You can wear a hat so you don't get a sunstroke.
