In Cuba, it's always summer...well, almost! From November to April, you've got yourself a balmy 23-27°C average, which we like to call the perfect "Mojito weather". You can stroll around the colourful streets of Havana without breaking into a sweat. How about that?

But if you're a sun worshipper, Cuba weather really struts its stuff from May to October. We're talking temperatures that easily climb up to 32°C, folks. Remember to pack your sunscreen – the sun in Cuba does not play around!

Be prepared though, the weather in Cuba likes to spice things up a little with some tropical rain showers between June and November.
