A high-pressure system is dominating Havana's weather, with partly cloudy skies and low rain chances until Sunday. Starting Monday the 29th, an active front will increase cloud cover and bring intermittent showers. Temperatures will remain warm, with highs between 26 and 27°C.
A robust high-pressure system positioned over the western Atlantic, east of Florida and the Bahamas, continues to govern the region's weather, enforcing northeasterly to easterly winds. However, the direct impact of an active frontal system will start to be felt in Havana from Monday, December 29.
Over the coming days, skies will vary from partly cloudy to cloudy, with low chances of rain in the capital. Beginning Monday, cloud cover will intensify, leading to intermittent showers and moderate rainfall, especially in the afternoons and evenings.
Winds will mainly blow from the northeast to east at 15 to 30 kilometers per hour, with gusts potentially stronger, particularly along the north coast. An uptick in wind strength is expected on Tuesday the 30th. Relative humidity will fluctuate between 55% and 75%, possibly rising on days with increased clouds and precipitation.
High temperatures will range from 26 to 27°C (79 to 81°F), with lows between 18 and 22°C (64 to 72°F). Sea surface temperature will hold steady at 28°C (82°F). This forecast, prepared by Adrian Fuentes, captures typical year-end patterns on the island, shifting toward greater meteorological instability.
Havana, as the capital, experiences these influences from Atlantic systems, highlighting the need to track updates for outdoor activities during the holidays.
