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.
Located close to the Tropic of Cancer, Havana has a typical subtropical climate, with a wet season in the summer and a dry season in the winter. Due to moderating trade winds, average temperatures do not fluctuate as much as rainfall does, making Havana a warm place to visit any time of year. Temperatures usually range from the mid-60s to the mid-90s (20-35 degrees Celsius) - this is high enough to wear shorts all 12 months! During winter the temperature can dip to 50 degrees Fahrenheit at night, but this is rare. The BBC has a reliable 5-day forecast that you should check before your visit.
