Cuba weather - Cuba's subtropical climate adds to the country's fascination
All of Cuba enjoys a balmy, subtropical climate making this remarkable island a great place to visit at any time of the year. The annual average temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, with summer heat peaking around 30 degrees, and daytime temperatures in winter (December, January) rarely dropping below 18 degrees C. Cuba's clement weather is caused by its proximity to the Tropic of Cancer, and its narrow cigar shape which allows the coastal resorts to be refreshed by trade winds. The eastern side of Cuba tends to have warmer weather than the west. Travellers will find that inland temperatures drop more dramatically at night, while on the coast there is not much variation. Average rainfall is from 860 mm in the East to 1730 mm in Havana. Rain falls mostly in the summer and autumn, but there can also be torrential downpours at any time. The primary hurricane season in Cuba is between August and October, so it's important to watch weather forecasts if you are booking your holiday in this period. The chances are that you will only experience mild, tropical rain at night, with occasional downpours during the day, but bear in mind that large storms have hit Cuba in recent years.
