How warm is it in Cuba during December?
The temperature reaches around 27℃ during the daytime in December, falling away to 20℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Cuba during December?
On average, there will be 2 rainy days during the month, amounting to 49.0mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. Due to the high temperature and humidity, you might expect lots of thunderstorms, however they're actually fairly infrequent at this time of year. On average, December will see just 1 days that produce a storm.
Is it windy in Cuba during December?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during December. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
