Havana's Climate
Havana is the capital of Cuba, on the island's northwest coast facing the Gulf of Mexico, with a warm tropical savanna climate moderated year-round by trade winds and the surrounding sea. Daytime highs are usually 28–32°C in summer and 24–27°C in winter, and nights are seldom cold. The year divides into a cooler dry season (November to April) and a hot, humid wet season (May to October) with afternoon thunderstorms and showers. Havana also lies in the Atlantic hurricane belt, with the peak storm risk from August to October. The UV index stays high for much of the year.
