CLIMATE

Subtropical. Hot and moist. The Cuban territory touches the Tropic of Cancer and due to its long and narrow configuration, oriented from East to West, it receives the refreshing action of the trade winds and the sea breezes. During the short winter, there is the influence of masses of cold air coming from the North, with cold fronts which don't last much.

There are only two seasons, wet (May - November) and dry (December - April), with regional variations.
