When is the best time to travel to Cuba for good weather?

Cuba’s driest months with the least rain run from November to April which is during their winter. December and January tend to have cooler evenings so it’s best to take light clothing layers or a jacket if you are travelling during these times.

Summer, which runs at the same time as the UK, can be very hot and humid. Cuba’s hurricane season is the same as the rest of the Caribbean and runs from June to November, with September being peak time. There is no way of knowing when a hurricane will occur, and visitors travel to Cuba all year round including during these months.

To benefit from the cheapest rates on flights and accommodation, we recommend travelling to Cuba in May, June, September, or October when there is more chance of rain, but less tourists and better holiday offers available.

When is the most expensive time to visit Cuba? 

As you might expect, flights and hotels are more expensive during school holidays and UK celebrations, with easter and Christmas holidays usually being the most expensive times to travel. We recommend that you book around a year in advance. Booking early will mean that you secure flights when the cheapest seats are available and you will also be able to take advantage of the hotel early booking offers provided to us. Cuba’s high season is from November to April and tends to be more expensive to travel than summer months.
