It will not be good for anyone if you arrive at the resort and it turns out that this period It's raining in Cuba. Your mood will be spoiled, your perception of the country will be wrong. So, when does the rainy season begin in Cuba, and when is the season for an unforgettable, unclouded holiday?

Cuba, unlike other countries, does not have 4 seasons, but only two:

• hot “summer”, often with showers and very high humidity;
• dry "winter".

Cuba is truly an island of warmth and summer mood, because the sun shines here 330 days a year.

The rainy season in Cuba begins in May and lasts until October.

In January, the air temperature does not rise above + 23ºС and this month is considered the coolest, the most “winter”. The hottest month is probably, like here in Russia, July. But the difference is significant - due to the high humidity, temperatures of +30ºС are very difficult to bear and you can only escape in the shade of palm trees. The temperature at night is + 23ºС. High heat combined with high humidity requires acclimatization for some time, but constant winds come to the rescue.

From May to November, air humidity rises and precipitation increases. There is absolutely no need to be afraid of heavy rains for the whole day, this will not happen. The rains come and go, but summer always remains. You can enjoy the rain for 5-10 minutes, and after a couple of hours everything becomes the same. Such rains can occur from June to September.

The rainy season is not as scary as it might seem. If you are not afraid of the sweltering heat and heavy rains, then the holiday season in Cuba can be year-round for you.

• the number of sunny days is the same during the holiday season, that is, 8 hours;
• the number of days when it rains doubles. Already 10 days in the month will become rainy;
• daytime temperature rises to + 31 ºС;
• at night the temperature does not drop below + 24 ºС;
• the water warms up to the state of fresh milk and its indicators freeze at + 28 ºС.

In this article on the Tour Calendar you will find out why the period from November to April is considered the best for a holiday on Liberty Island.

Tourist season in Cuba

Cuba is so far and so close. Every year, about 2.5 million people shell out a lot of money and experience a long transatlantic flight to relax, relieve stress and taste the sweet taste of freedom on this temperamental island, where every day there is an incendiary holiday. Cuba amazes with the splendor of the Caribbean exoticism, snow-white beaches, transparent clean and very warm emerald sea, colorful underwater world and unusual revolutionary surroundings. Everything here is done to please tourists, who spend decent amounts of money here: luxury hotels, first-class restaurants, plenty of entertainment and water sports. Russians are also included in their category. About 50,000 people come here from November to April, when Cuba experiences its driest weather. In general, the holiday season lasts all year round: in the summer the country is visited by those who are not afraid of high temperatures and tropical downpours.

High season

As already mentioned, the period from November to April is the most popular among tourists, when precipitation is limited to 5 rainy days per month. December, January and February are the busiest times of the season. A good million tourists who fly to Cuba to celebrate the New Year and Christmas holidays in the shade of spreading palm trees instead of spruce and with a glass of Cuba Libre in their hands instead of champagne want to get out of the dank cold, dull gray landscapes of a boring winter. However, it is worth keeping in mind that prices for tours during this period of time increase by approximately 30%-40%, and they are sold out long before the expected date.

Low season

The low season in Cuba is the tropical rainy season, which lasts from May to October. This is the wettest and hottest period of the year, during which Cubans themselves and budget tourists prefer to relax. After all, it is in the summer that travel agencies offer “hot tours”, thanks to which the savings amount to about 40%-50% of the amount that would have to be paid in the winter. And this, given the “biting” high cost of air tickets, is a significant benefit. However, not everyone copes easily with the heat in very stuffy conditions.

Beach season in Cuba

In the case of Cuba, you don’t need to worry about the fact that the water in the sea or ocean may not yet be warm enough or will suddenly become cold during your vacation. Its temperature never drops below +24 °C thanks to warm currents. In winter - +24 °C..+25 °C, and in summer - from +28 °C to +30 °C. Of course, swimming will be most comfortable in the winter season, since in the summer you cannot hide from the exorbitantly high temperatures even in the water, and strong waves are not at all uncommon for this time of year.

Windsurfing season in Cuba

The windsurfing season lasts all year round, but "" sea ​​wolves"" they still prefer spring and summer, when big waves rise

Windsurfing as a water sport and tourist entertainment in Cuba is just developing. So far, the country has only a few places where you can rent a sailing board and use the services of a professional instructor. These are the island of Cayo Guillermo, the harbor of the town of Cienfuegos, La Concha beach in Havana and the resort of Santiago de Cuba. The skiing season usually lasts during the rainy season, when the winds blow, driving up the waves.

Diving season

People also come to Cuba for diving, snorkeling and spearfishing. Undersea world Caribbean Sea richer in diverse flora and fauna than the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, around Caribbean island Thousands of small islands are scattered like pearls, untouched nature which boasts the preservation of rare inhabitants depths of the sea, as well as incredible purity and transparency of the water. Therefore, a huge number of diving centers are concentrated on the Caribbean coast. The season here lasts for a whole year, since strong currents are not typical for the basin of this sea. And even during tropical rains, diving is safe.

Fishing season

Fishing on an exotic island is also exotic. This is not the Black Sea or a pond in the Russian outback. Fishing in Cuba is a drive, overflowing emotions and valuable trophies, including predatory wahoo, swordfish, blue marlin and others. The fishing season lasts throughout the year, but the fishing period for each of these types of fish is different. For example, the migration time for swordfish is from February to March; from October to November, cosmopolitan sailfish are caught, but only in the north-west of the island, since from March to June it will be in the south-east. It bites best in spring and summer, when the weather is stable and sunny. In order not to bother yourself with such numerous nuances, it is better to turn to professionals who organize fishing, since you still cannot do without a boat or boat.

Cruise season

Every year during the navigation season, which opens at the beginning of August, the port of Havana receives cruise ships from Mexico. Several years ago, the Tropicana Cruises company developed an excursion program for Russian tourists who do not speak English language. Passenger ships depart from the port of Puerto Progresso with calls (in addition to Havana) to Mexico and the Cayman Islands. In turn, from the capital of Cuba for approximately 1000 euros you can purchase a cruise tour along the route “Island Juventud - Isla. Grand Cayman - o. Cozumel - Havana (the liner departs from the port every Saturday).

Best time for excursions

In Cuba, everything that is most unusual and unusual for our “brother” seduces us: huge areas national reserves, quaint caves with prehistoric frescoes, tobacco plantations, half-century-old vintage cars and long lines in stores where food is issued using coupons. And even ancient houses that have not seen repairs since the revolution in Cuba are also part of its attractions. It is unlikely that you will be able to properly enjoy the atmosphere of the city in conditions summer heat and strong winds, but in the period from November to April this can be organized in the best way.

It's time for holidays and festivals

Cubans are hospitable people with a fiery temperament. They say that in Cuba they drink rum, smoke tobacco and know how to dance well. This pure truth- they know how to have fun here, and this is what attracts a huge number of tourists here. When you come to Cuba, you will always find yourself at one event or another. TO national holidays The republics include: Day of Liberation and Victory of the Cuban Revolution, celebrated on January 1 and 2, May 1 - International Workers' Day, July 26 - Day of the National Uprising (led by Che Guevara), the celebration of which stretches over 3 whole days; October 10 - “Grito de Yara”, which marks the anniversary of the beginning of the struggle for Cuban independence from the Spanish metropolis. Now let's talk a little about local festivals. There are a lot of them in Cuba. The most popular and largest in scale include: the 10-day film festival “International Festival of New Latin American Cinema”, which opens in Havana in early December; jazz music festival "Jazz Plaza", starting in the middle of the first winter month; January theater festival “Jornada Villanueva”; tobacco festival “Havana Cigar”, starting at the end of February; The Caribbean Culture Festival is the biggest event of the summer, falling in June or July; July fire festival “Fiesta del Fuego” - 10 days of music, fire shows and fiery salsa in Santiago de Cuba; International Havana Ballet Festival, held annually in mid-autumn. It is also worth mentioning that on January 25, Cubans, along with the entire Catholic world, celebrate Christmas, and at the end of February, the time for enchanting carnivals begins in all major cities of the Republic, leaving no one indifferent. A series of carnivals also take place in the summer.

Climate in Cuba

Cuba is warm all year round, as it has a tropical trade wind climate. The eastern part of the island is characterized by more high temperatures than the western one. 330 days of sunshine a year bright sun, so you will definitely get your portion of vitamin D. The average air temperature for the year is about +25 °C. High humidity makes it difficult to feel the heat, but the winds blowing from the ocean bring some relief. There are two climatic periods in Cuba: the rainy season - from May to October and the tropical season - from November to April. It is worth keeping in mind that the climate of Cuba is prone to changeability. So, summer can surprise with dry periods, and winter with wet ones. Tropical cyclones (usually up to 5) over Cuba acquire the status of storms and only occasionally gain hurricane force. According to statistics, a hurricane does not have the habit of hitting the same place every year. The hurricane season lasts from June to September.

Cuba in the spring

March - high season in Cuba. However, cold winds may blow this month, especially on the Atlantic coast, although there are quite a few calm days. At the beginning of spring, the water becomes warmer, so absolutely all beaches are crowded with tourists. There is no need to be afraid of tropical rains; they fall no more than 3-5 days. And in hot weather, reaching +27 °C..+28 °C, they are very refreshing. The evenings also bring significant relief: after sunset the thermometer drops to +17°C..+21°C. In April, day and night temperatures continue to rise, moderated by cool trade winds. In the evenings, you can safely walk at the very edge of the water; it is impossible to freeze at this time of day: the air does not cool below +21 °C..+22 °C. This interesting time for both beach and excursion holiday. April is enriched with the largest festivals, affecting almost everything big cities Cubes. It is believed that this month marks the end of the high tourist season, because the period of rains and storms begins in May. However, many Cubans consider this month the most suitable for a holiday in the Republic, since, despite real fact increase in rainfall to 7 calendar days, showers do not fall every day and take no more than 2 hours. These 2 hours can be devoted to lunch at the hotel, relaxation, and some tourists, on the contrary, do not rush to shelter, wanting to cool off under the streams of tropical rain - a kind of exotic.

Temperature and weather in Cuba in spring

Cuba in summer

Summer in Cuba low season, this is explained by the fact that at this time the island is very hot: the air temperature during the day does not fall below +32 °C, sometimes rising to +35 °C, and the water temperature ranges from +27 °C to +29 °C. Often in the afternoon there are heavy tropical downpours, always falling suddenly, but stopping after an hour or two. There is a lot of precipitation, so after it entire streets are flooded. But very soon the air warms up again to the usual temperature levels, and the sun begins to get hot. The latter, by the way, is quite aggressive in summer period. You should not stay outdoors for a long time. Be sure to stock up good creams with a high UF protection factor and drink as much as possible more water. About sightseeing in daytime It’s better to forget, there’s little pleasure in it. Real pleasure from summer walks can be obtained only in the dark (by the way, not very safe), when the air cools to +22 °C..+24 °C. And a few words about possible dangers. When swimming in the sea, it is possible to encounter jellyfish, especially after another storm. Most of them do not pose any particular danger, but direct contact with them does not bode well: Aurelia can cause a burn, which must be immediately treated with a weak solution of vinegar. But the sinophore with tentacles, similar to an inflated balloon, is extremely poisonous. After bad weather, these jellyfish can often be seen in the water near the shore. At this time, lifeguards place red flags on the beaches informing that swimming is prohibited.

Temperature and weather in Cuba in summer

Cuba in autumn

At the beginning of autumn, Cuban weather can bring unpleasant surprises. September-October is characterized by storms, hurricanes, troublesome sea ​​water and damaging everything that gets in their way, as well as high humidity. Tour operators know this and use every possible means to lure tourists to vacation during this period of time (with seductive discounts, lucrative offers). At the beginning of autumn in Cuba it is almost as hot as in summer. Unless the thermometer drops a couple of degrees, and the water temperature in the ocean and sea is about +26 °C..+29 °C. High level humidity remains, so an acclimatization period can hardly be avoided. Usually, by the beginning of October, the number of days marked by rainfall is reduced to nothing. If you decide to come to Cuba in the first half of autumn, be quite scrupulous in choosing a hotel: pay attention to its proximity to water (the further the better - to avoid flooding), the availability of good pumping station and an indoor pool in case you have to sit in your room for a long time in bad weather. In November, the heat recedes slightly and the air temperature drops to more comfortable temperatures- +26 °C..+28 °C. There is also a reduction in precipitation - up to 5 rainy days per month. November is the start of the high tourist season after the past difficult climate period. However, in the first ten days of the month there may still be high waves on the ocean, so at this time it is better to go to the Caribbean coast, unless, of course, you are a surfer.

When going here on vacation, you should find out when is the best time to vacation in Cuba, and what time of year there are the best conditions for beach holiday. It is also very important to know where best beaches and resorts where best view at sunset and, ... in general, read the article and then you will find out everything yourself.

Winter in Cuba is the peak tourist season

Most tourists come to Freedom Island in winter. In December, January and February, most hotels are booked for weeks in advance, and finding a free room is very difficult. A large number of tourists are affected by the weather, which is sunny and the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Already starting in December, the average daytime temperature rises to +26 degrees. At lunchtime, the air warms up even more and you can often see about +30 degrees on thermometers. In January and February, weather conditions do not change fundamentally. The day is still sunny and warm, and almost no precipitation. Rains in winter are rare and short-lived.

As for the night temperature, the nights here are sometimes cool. On average, all winter at night in Cuba is about +18 degrees, but there are exceptions in both directions. The maximum temperature at night can be higher than plus twenty-five degrees, and the minimum sometimes drops to +12.
Tourists love to admire sunsets on local beaches. If you are going to see a stunning picture and see the sun below the horizon, you should wear warm clothes. After all, the evening and night weather is a little colder and therefore you will be much more comfortable in warm clothes.

Spring in Cuba - a smooth end to the beach season

With the coming of spring beach season continues in Cuba. In March and April people swim and sunbathe here. In May you can also swim and sunbathe, but only if the weather, which is starting to deteriorate, allows.
In March, the temperature slowly rises. It is already becoming common to see +30 during the day. In April, the air warms up even a little more and +33 +35 degrees during the day is a common occurrence.
But not only the temperature is changing, the entire climate is changing. Winds begin to blow, which raise waves on the sea and drive clouds from afar. At the beginning of spring, rains are not so frequent, but there are already more of them than in winter.

Closer to May, there is more rain and it is no longer a light drizzle, but a tropical downpour. On average, it can last 3-5 hours, but it also happens that it rains for a day or even two. In general, according to statistics, in spring it rains 4-5 days every month. Therefore, even if you come on vacation in May, you can relax on the beach and enjoy the sunny weather.

Summer in Cuba – few tourists, low prices

In summer there are really few tourists in Cuba, and prices are reduced by up to 60%. This is due to the weather turning bad. With the coming summer months The wet season begins in Cuba. Heavy rains City streets are flooded, rainwater throws garbage into the sea, and winds and waves bring jellyfish to the shore.

If it were not for the frequent showers and strong winds, then it would be a pleasure to relax on the island in the summer. After all, the air temperature almost never drops below +35 degrees, and the sea even warms up to +28 degrees. But everything is spoiled by downpours.
Usually, heavy rain begins in the afternoon, and in the morning the sun shines and a few tourists rush to the beach. You can spend time on the beach until lunch, and then it’s better to leave it. Even if it happens that there is no rain, the sun is very active these days. It shines so much that it burns the skin and you can get a burn or sunstroke. It is advisable to spend lunch hours in shelter from the rain or sun.

Showers begin in the afternoon and stop by evening. Tourists are once again rushing to the seashore to swim and relax. We do not recommend doing this, since after heavy rain and wind there are a lot of jellyfish on the shore. Their bites are painful, and some jellyfish are even dangerous to humans. In the evenings, if the weather is good, it’s better to go for a walk. Take a tour. And return to the beach the next morning.

Autumn in Cuba – the rains are ending, tourists are returning

At the beginning of autumn, in September, the weather is almost no different from summer: there are also showers, air humidity is high and normal rest is hardly possible.
In October the weather becomes more predictable. The rain becomes noticeably less, the winds subside, and tourists begin to settle in again. local hotels. The second month of autumn belongs to the wet season, but in the second half of October everything is different here.
In November and at all ideal conditions for a beach holiday. During the day the temperature is +26 degrees, at night about +20 degrees. The water in the sea is +25, and the sea itself becomes calm and clean.
In November, vacation prices go up again, and it is already becoming a problem to find available rooms in hotels on the ocean.
