A cold front will approach the northwest Gulf of Mexico, bringing clouds and possible isolated rains to western Cuba starting Thursday. Temperatures will remain warm, with highs between 27 and 30°C and lows between 20 and 23°C. Conditions will improve over the weekend with the arrival of a high-pressure system.
Over the past 24 hours, most of Cuba, including Havana, has seen stable conditions influenced by a high-pressure system extending from the Atlantic toward the Gulf of Mexico. However, during yesterday afternoon and early this morning, the approach of a cold front to the northwest of the Gulf has increased cloudiness and the chance of isolated rains in the western region, though no significant precipitation has occurred in the capital so far.
For the coming days, the cold front is expected to enter the northwest Gulf of Mexico tonight and advance southeast. It could influence weather in western Cuba by Thursday night or early Friday morning, with increased cloudiness and the likelihood of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, mainly during Thursday afternoon and evening. The front will dissipate over the southeastern Gulf without reaching the island, so its effects will be limited. After its passage, winds will shift from the south to the northwest and north, at speeds of 15 to 30 kilometers per hour, with higher gusts especially on Thursday and Friday.
Over the weekend, conditions will gradually improve with the arrival of high pressure, featuring sunny mornings and partly cloudy afternoons, and a low probability of rain. Relative humidity will range between 50% and 90%. Highs will be between 27 and 30°C (81–86°F), and lows between 20 and 23°C (68–73°F). Sea surface temperature will be 26°C (79°F). Sea conditions along the northern coast will be affected by the front, with possible waves and rough seas.
