The climate of Varadero (Cuba)
Varadero is the most popular seaside resort of Cuba. In fact, it is
one of the most popular seaside resorts in the whole of the Caribbean.
Tourists don’t stay in the town itself, but in the hotel zone on a
peninsula which is 20 kilometers long and just 1.2 kilometers wide.
Varadero has a tropical savannah climate with warm summers, warm
winters and rainfall all year round. The ever present sea wind on the
peninsula has a cooling effect. High humidity figures are uncommon
because of the wind. During the winter and spring it may get a little
cold during the evening. Be prepared and bring something warm for the
evening like a cardigan, jacket or sweater. Varadero has a distinct
rainy season from May till October. During these six months about 1000
millimeters of rain falls which is more than the Netherlands gets per
year. Most of the rain is very heavy and usually falls during the late
afternoon or in the evening. Longer rainy periods are uncommon unless
a fierce tropical depression or hurricane passes by. Hurricanes occur
during the period from June till November. These depressions can cause
a lot of rain that usually falls within 24 to 48 hours.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
