What is the climate like?

Cuba's climate is tropical and moderated by trade winds. The dry season lasts from November to April and the rainy season from May to October.

The average annual temperature is about 77 degrees Fahrenheit or 25 degrees Celsius.

The warm temperatures of the Caribbean Sea and the fact that Cuba sits across the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico combine to make the country prone to frequent hurricanes. The hurricane season normally runs from June to November.
