It is blessed with hot, sunny weather almost all year round. August is summer in Cuba therefore you can expect temperatures between 30-33 degrees. While it is a little more humid at this time of year, there is a constant breeze as Cuba is an Island and you are located close to the sea therefore the weather is warm but manageable. It is often the time of year when traditionally the afternoons bring short, sharp rain showers. These are over and dried out again within a few minutes and help to keep temperatures cool. Night times are cooler and balmy, perfect when dancing outdoors!
