Havana’s monthly weather has predictable warm for most of the year, but rainfall spikes in June and October.
Cuba is one of the northernmost islands in the Caribbean, and as a result it has somewhat cooler temperatures than other parts of the region during the winter.
The fact that Havana lies on the northern coast of Cuba means that the capital city has even cooler temperatures than the southern coast of the island.
That doesn’t stop tourists from flocking to the island all year. Cuba is the second most popular destination in the Caribbean after Dominican Republic despite the travel restrictions on Americans going there.
The island remains hugely popular with Canadians in particular, many of whom go to Havana for its culture, history, architecture and resorts.
