The giants, seeing their prey escaping them, seized up huge pieces of rock, and wading into the water hurled them after us with such good aim that all the rafts except the one I was upon were swamped, and their luckless crews drowned, without our being able to do anything to help them.
The climate of Cuba. Cuba has a tropical savannah climate, type Aw according to the Kppen-Geiger climate classification. The most south eastern tip of Cuba has a warm steppe climate, type Bsh. This is because of low precipitation figures here. During the day temperatures are between 25-34 degrees Celsius on average. This makes Cuba a nice country for those who like warm weather. The tropical weather is tempered by an ever present north easterly wind.
Cubaâs tropical climate is moderated by trade winds, and includes a dry season (November to April) and a rainy season (May to October). Hurricanes periodically batter the island in the summer and fall. UNIQUE PLANTLIFE. Cuba has more than 6,000 plant species, about half of which are found nowhere else. Some of the islandâs best-known plants include the royal palm (Reistonea regia), which appears on the nationâs coat of arms.
