All of Cuba enjoys a mild subtropical climate. Varadero Beach, Cuba’s leading resort, is located on the northern coast and enjoys an average water temperature of more than 25 degrees C (77 degrees F).  

Temperatures are balmy throughout the year, varying between 24 and 30 degrees C (67 to 86 degrees F).  During the hot summer months, temperatures average about 82 degrees F, with relative humidity at a high of 80 percent.  During the cooler, and more comfortable, winter months, the average temperature is 21 degrees C or 70 degrees F.

Due to its location on the Gulf of Mexico, Veradero Beach’s hot temperatures are tempered with gentle northeasterly trade winds throughout the year. Nighttime temperatures are pleasant and cool.

Hurricane season occurs between August and October, during which time if a severe storm hits, winds can gust up to 200 kilometers per hour.  This also coincides with the resort's rainy season, from May through October. During these months, average rainfall can reach 31 inches (nearly 60% of the island’s total annual rainfall amount).
