in Cuba: when to go?
tropical humide climate
Cuba bénéficie d'un climat tropical humide particulièrement agréable, avec des températures constantes oscillant entre 22°C et 28°C toute l'année. L'île connaît deux saisons distinctes : la saison sèche de novembre à avril, période idéale pour découvrir ses plages de rêve, ses villes coloniales et sa culture vibrante, et la saison humide de mai à octobre, marquée par des averses tropicales et une humidité plus élevée. La période cyclonique s'étend officiellement de juin à novembre, avec un pic d'activité entre août et octobre. Les alizés rafraîchissent agréablement l'atmosphère, particulièrement sur les côtes. Pour profiter pleinement de votre voyage à Cuba, privilégiez la saison sèche qui offre un ensoleillement généreux, peu de précipitations et des conditions parfaites pour explorer La Havane, Trinidad, Varadero ou la vallée de Viñales.
