Planning a Trip to Havana? Here's the Weather

See what weather to expect in Havana, Cuba and plan your trip with confidence. Monthly averages from real historical weather data.

Havana runs warm year-round, with highs that never dip below 26°C even in January, making the city's outdoor life — its seafront Malecón, crumbling colonial plazas, and open-air dining — a constant draw. What shifts meaningfully across the calendar is rainfall, which swings from a trickle in March to a genuine deluge in June, so timing matters more than most visitors expect. On wetter days, the city's revolutionary-era museums offer a surprisingly rich way to stay dry without losing the thread of Havana's story.
