Is it too hot in Aruba right now?
 
We are traveling with a 13 month old and she doesn't do well in the heat. Last time we hit the carib we went to Turks/caicos at this time of year, it was so hot you couldn't go out even at night. Thanks.

Aruba won't be cooler than T&C, but the trade winds blow stronger in the eastern and southeastern Caribean, so it will feel a little cooler. But for people intolerant of heat, it will basically be the same.

I agree. We've been to T & C in a May and Aruba in a Sept. and the heat was basically the same. In Aruba the breeze is much stronger, which helps, but it's still pretty hot.

OK thanks so much

Aruba is always hot. It is down near the equator so sunscreen at the maximum strength is needed year round! But I agree with above that there is always a steady wind in Aruba so it doesn't feel like you are baking.
