We go to Aruba every year in April, but friends of ours want us to move up our vacation and go in March this year. I have heard that March is a "rainy" month for Aruba. I know they don't get a lot of rain per year, but I've heard March is when they get more than usual. Does anyone know if this is true? We will be taking our very precocious 18-month-old daughter with us this year and don't want to have to worry about finding lots of things to occupy her indoors for the week. :)

I live in Curacao...that's an island next to Aruba...
March is usually when the "rainy season" has ended or is ending...just remember...weather is never predictable.
How about you try Curacao for a change?
To ArubaLisa: There you see then...to islands so close with such a big difference in weather.

Hi! I love Aruba also and went there 6 times already. From what I know, and as you said, Aruba doesn't have much rain. Even though it is the 'rainy season,' you would be facing more 10 minute showers here and there and nothing like tropical storms. The weather should be fine, I'm sure. Seriously, I would go anyway. Maybe it is better to call up a resort and ask about it.

I went to Aruba towards the end of February to the beginning of March. While i was there it did rain more than usual, but it would rain for a short period, then the sun would come out right after. It's not that bad, i still had a lot of fun, it didn't stop my plans at all. It only rains for a good ten minutes. Don't worry, you'll still have fun.
