Arubahhhhh!

Hello! You have reached the weblog of Earlax. I’m sorry I can’t tell you clever or interesting stories right now, I’m propped up on a sunny beach with a funny rum drink in my hand. Oh, don’t be tricked, that paper in my hand may say that it is BCP 84, but I’m just holding it there to shade my eyes as I gaze out into the topaz water.
In anticipation of your visit I have prepared this colorful weather banner to tell you about the temperature where I am (and so you can see if your attempts to make it cold and rainy on my vacation have any effect whatsoever). However, in researching where to spend my holiday I ran accross this fascinating blurb:
In Aruba the newspapers almost never publish a weather report. They don’t need to. Around here, “sunny and warm” is not news. With an average rainfall of less than 20 inches a year, an average daytime temperature of 82° Fahrenheit (27° Celsius), a location completely outside the hurricane belt, and the constant cooling influence of the trade winds, Aruba is one of the most temperate islands in the Caribbean. And just as comfortable in July as it is in January.
The difference between median day and night temperatures, and between summer and winter temperatures, is just 3.6°. The rainfall occurs mainly in short showers during November and December.
Aruba’s weather in a word — perfect.
It sounds very nice and I’m sorry that you can’t be here too! Instead you’ll just have to wait to hear our tales of adventure when we return, far too soon!
