February this year already twice as wet as normal

WILLEMSTAD - According to the Meteorology Service of Curaçao (Meteo), there have been twice as much rain this month than normal in February.

The rain is due to a cooler Antarctic Ocean around the equator. It is the upper layer of the ocean. For the time being, it is still a few degrees cooler than normal, so the weather will probably stay a bit wetter.

According to Meteo, the temperature is normal: in January and February, it is on average 24.5 degrees Celsius on the island.
