Vacation Seasons In Cuba - Best Time To Visit Cuba
Cuba is one of the largest islands in Caribbean Sea, being in the same time one of the preferred travel destinations for beach vacations amongst voyagers from Canada. The high popularity of this small state is caused by a few factors: there are several tourist sites (from which Varadero is very popular all over the world) where are settled plenty of high-end hotels and beach resorts with luxury accommodation amenities, all offering cost-effective all inclusive vacation packages. Most resort towns are located on coastline and have awesome white-sand beaches bathed by azure waters. Last but not least, the warm tropical weather is an important factor in attracting tourists because it allows people to spend a lot of time outdoor and forget the cold winters specific to countries located in the northern part of America.
Tropical climate is characterized by two seasons, one wet (summer) and one dry (winter). The weather in Cuba doesn't make exception to this rule and there is a humid period between June and November with the largest quantity of rainfall occurring in July, and a dry season in December-May. Due to the fact that Cuba is settled across the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, a site where the cold masses of air coming from Atlantic Ocean meet the hot air specific to Caribbean, in the region appear hurricanes very frequently, particularly in September and October. The average temperature variation between seasons is low. The highest monthly average temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) is in July and August, while the lowest monthly average temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius) is in January and February.
When is the best time to visit Cuba? Generally, vacations in Caribbean can be enjoyed at best in the dry season (namely in winter) when temperatures are much more pleasant and rains are rare. However, there are several seasonal characteristics of Cuban weather, as following: weather in March, April and May is considered the best for beach vacations in Cuba because daytime temperatures are about 79-86 degrees Fahrenheit (26-30 degrees Celsius) and the sky is bright till the horizon meets the sea, therefore the time spent on beaches is wonderful; between June-November is the hurricane season when the weather is more humid and temperatures increase several degrees - yet in June the rains are pretty rare, so this month is also good to take trips to Cuba, especially due to the fact that travel deals and vacation packages provided by most all inclusive resorts and hotels in Cuba are very attractive; weather in the interval December-February is the coldest, with temperatures ranging from 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) to 81 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). As a consequence, the last mentioned period isn't the best time for beach vacations, but is excellent for tours of the island or cultural vacations in Havana in order to admire the numerous tourist attractions including old buildings with Spanish colonial architectural style, museums, festivals, and many others.
Because of the warm weather and low temperature variations between seasons, Cuba is since many years one of the leading tourist destinations in Caribbean and vacation spots such as Varadero, Cayo Coco, Cayo Largo and Havana are well known on the North American travel scene, particularly in Canada. Unfortunately, US citizens have restrictions to travel directly to this country due to political reasons. However, it seems that this thing is going to change, some discussions between Cuban and US officials suggesting that relations between this two countries are improving. However, most tourists who visited once this tropical island and stayed in all inclusive resorts lining gorgeous beaches like the 13-mile long "Playa Azul" or "Blue Beach" in Varadero have been charmed by the wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. As result, a large part of travelers come back yearly to take delight in some of the best beach vacations in Caribbean! Cultural trips to Havana, particularly when the air temperature is pleasant and allows people to take excursions without be extenuated by heat, are also very rewarding, so actually in all seasons visiting Cuba is a great life experience.
