I'm setting up a terrarium and would like to add some hermit crabs. I plan to use fast growing Irish moss as ground cover. I plan to use coconut husk and spagnum / peat moss as the material where I'll plant all of my leafy friends.
Located just outside the hurricane belt, even the outer bands of tropical storms rarely affect the island, and it is fortunate enough to not endure a monsoon season. While the island does experience a rainy season, the weather is never so bad that one should avoid planning a vacation because of rain. Aruba experiences about 18 to 20 total inches of rain annually, a fact which is evident in the flat, dry, desert landscape of the island.
Oranjestad Weather Forecast, Aruba. Temperature. The temperature on Aruba is measured in Celsius and is practically constant throughout the year. On average the temperature varies between the 26 and 32 degrees Celsius. Most hotels also communicate the temperature in Fahrenheit and since the electrical current is the same as in the US (110V/60Hz), most air conditioning systems in Aruba are manufactured for the US market and therefore also show degrees in Fahrenheit.
