Climate and Weather in Havana, Cuba

The climate of Havana

What is the capital of Cuba? Havana is the capital of Cuba and with about 2.2 million inhabitants also the largest city on the island. Havana is a beautiful city with a very exciting character, which is not surprising when you look at the history of the city. Founded in 1519, Havana was successively a robber’s nest for pirates invading the Caribbean, a transit port for Spanish merchandise (including slaves) and a gambling haven for the Americans. This turbulent history has marked the face of Havana with many beautiful 19th century and colonial buildings. However, nothing has defined its current charm like the Cuban revolution in 1959. The economic and social isolation Cuba found itself in left the island completely thrown back on itself. Due to trade embargoes no more car parts could be imported and so the old American classics are still in service, albeit with Lada engines and Trabant parts. This also ensures that, walking through Havana, you get the idea that time has stood still there since the 1950s. Economic restrictions don’t stop Cubans from partying. Especially in the El Vedado district there are many music bars and cafes where people dance fervently. There are also some beautiful old bars, such as Bar el Floridita, where the writer Ernest Hemingway drank his mojitos and daiquiris. In the warm afternoon a great place to enjoy this great city while enjoying a daiquiri and a Cuban cigar.

There is a chance of hurricanes from June to November. However, these come and go quickly. You only suffer from this for a few days and in Cuba they are used to this. This period also has the greatest chance of precipitation. The temperature in Cuba is an average of 30°C. This can add up considerably in the summer. The sea breeze does provide some coolness. The winter temperature is slightly lower than the average. The temperature remains wonderfully pleasant in the winter and perfect for long days at the beach. See abbreviations for Havana.
