Over 60% of the population is catholic, largely people of African descent. The small Jewish and Dutch Protestant communities have considerable influence.
Climate
Located in the tropics, just 12’north of the Equator, Curacao has a warm climate year round. The average temperature is about 17’ C (in the mid-80s F). Cooling trade winds blow constantly from the east picking up in the spring months. The rainy season, October to February, is usually marked by short, occasional showers, mostly at night, and continued sunny weather by day. Total annual rainfall averages only 570 mm (22 inches). Curacao is outside the hurricane belt; only three hurricanes have come near the island this century. Occasionally, a tropical storm brewing elsewhere in the Caribbean can cause uncharacteristically cloudy weather for a day or two.
