The climate of Santiago de Cuba (Cuba)
Santiago de Cuba is located on Cuba’s south coast on the eastern tip. It is the second largest city in Cuba. The city was founded by Diego Velázquez who hoped to find loads of gold here. Gold was never found. However, Santiago de Cuba soon became a centre of the slave trade in the Caribbean. Santiago de Cuba has a rebellious character. Many times during its history it was the breeding place for several revolts against all sorts of dictatorships. There also used to be a lively smuggling trade with neighbouring countries. There are several places worth seeing in Santiago de Cuba. In Castillo del Morro you are taken back to the time of the pirates. A large recreational park can be found in the vicinity. It has an aquarium, a Cuban Jurassic Park, a crocodile farm and you can swim with dolphins here. Santiago de Cuba has a savannah climate. This type of climate is characterized by a dry period and a wet period. This type of climate is drier than a tropical climate. Most of the rain falls from May till September. During this period hurricanes may occur. Temperatures are the same all year round with several peaks during the summer months.
