In December, the rainy season comes to an end. The weather is very pleasant, the island is beautifully green, and there are many colorful <a href=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/en\/blog-butterflies-bonaire\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/en\/blog-butterflies-bonaire\/\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">butterflies <\/mark><\/strong><\/a>to admire. However, even outside this prime period, Bonaire remains a great destination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From March to August, temperatures slowly rise above 30 degrees Celsius (86\u00b0F), but the constant east wind keeps the weather on Bonaire exceptionally enjoyable. Rainfall is scarce, which is evident in nature. Trees shed their leaves, cacti become somewhat duller, and many ponds dry up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By September, the wind subsides, and it becomes hot on Bonaire. You should be prepared for the heat!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From October, the wind returns, and the rainy season begins. The rain brings relief, and the maximum temperature drops below 30 degrees Celsius again (86\u00b0F). Generally, the rainy season on Bonaire is mild, with one or two short tropical showers per day. After such a downpour, the sun quickly shines again!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>From Cura\u00e7ao to Bonaire<\/strong><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you&#8217;re traveling from Cura\u00e7ao to Bonaire, you&#8217;ll have to rely on a plane as there is no boat connection to Bonaire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flydivi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Divi Divi Air<\/mark><\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyzair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Z Air<\/mark><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/flights.winair.sx\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Winair<\/mark><\/a> provide multiple flights per day, including from Aruba.

Rain is rare on Bonaire, even though weather apps often suggest otherwise. The rainy season runs from October through January, bringing one or two brief tropical showers a day that are highly localized. The sun usually reappears right after.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sun is strong year-round, so make sure to apply sunscreen to avoid getting burned. Even on cloudy days, you can burn quickly! Use reef-friendly sunscreen to help protect the coral.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temperatures on Bonaire range from about 86\u00b0F in January to 91\u00b0F in September. The eastern trade winds have a big impact on how warm it feels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The wind on Bonaire always blows from the east and provides a pleasant breeze most of the year. In September, October, and November, however, the wind can drop, and there may even be completely calm days. At those times, a refreshing dip in the ocean is the best way to cool off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sea temperatures around Bonaire are pleasantly warm and stable, averaging about 82\u00b0F year-round. The water is a few degrees warmer in summer and slightly cooler in winter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Car Rental<\/strong><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arrange your car rental in advance.

Rain is rare on Bonaire, even though weather apps often suggest otherwise. The rainy season runs from October through January, bringing one or two brief tropical showers a day that are highly localized. The sun usually reappears right after.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sun is strong year-round, so make sure to apply sunscreen to avoid getting burned. Even on cloudy days, you can burn quickly! Use reef-friendly sunscreen to help protect the coral.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temperatures on Bonaire range from about 30\u00b0C in January to 33\u00b0C in September. The eastern trade winds have a big impact on how warm it feels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The wind on Bonaire always blows from the east and provides a pleasant breeze most of the year. In September, October, and November, however, the wind can drop, and there may even be completely calm days. At those times, a refreshing dip in the ocean is the best way to cool off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sea temperatures around Bonaire are pleasantly warm and stable, averaging about 28\u00b0C year-round. The water is a few degrees warmer in summer and slightly cooler in winter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/en\/blog-useful-information-about-bonaire\/#The_weather_on_Bonaire\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">here <\/mark><\/strong><\/a>to go back where you came from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because we aim for your unforgettable vacation, we&#8217;re here to help you get started with some useful information and good advice about your arrival, payments, transportation, electricity, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"Useful Information When You Travel to Bonaire | HopiBonaire","_seopress_titles_desc":"A blog with useful information and good advice about your vacation.
