Cuba in May and June 2025 – is it worth going? Weather and reviews, air and water temperature, is it possible to swim and how to dress, prices for tours and flights. How to do and what to look at Cuba in early May and the end of spring, at the start of summer, I found out Eurotraveler.
It is well known that Cuba, like any other tropical country, is not very concerned about the change of seasons. There are only two seasons: dry and wet. And it is still unknown which of them has the most serious shortcomings.
A European tourist, as well as an American or Canadian, without a shadow of doubt, will declare that clear and warm weather is preferable. But the Cuban, we must think, will not agree with them-from the point of view of the permanent resident of the Caribbean, the air temperature in the area of +20-25 degrees Celsius and the heated “total” to +25 ° C of the sea is bad. Well, at least, it’s not good – it’s cold, after all, everyone is freezing.
Therefore, the inhabitants of Cuba prefer to “suffer” from summer heat and high humidity. Moreover, far from always the first indispensable accompanies the second.
For example, in May, Cuba does not frankly float and drown. And in June, the island is observing a certain number of surroundings. In any case, the rains do not go a hopeless series!
So if not anyone, then after all, many who risked coming to Cuba not in the high season, they will definitely get an occasion to publish enthusiastic story on Instagram. The entitled simply and unzipically – “so cool has not yet happened.”
It is clear that it will not reach the enthusiasm – first you will find out how much the direct flight to Cuba from Moscow lasts, and how you will be fed along the way through the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, test your own limits of strength, and then make a balanced final conclusion.
Well, we … start. Remote you with information that should help make a decision!
Weather in Cuba in May
In theory, it is not very chic – according to travelers living in the northern latitudes and not accustomed to strong heat. Since the Air temperature of +27-35 degrees Celsius significantly compromises high humidity throughout a month.
The resulting, of course, not one of the Caribbean-the rationing rate in Cuba in May grows from moderate (April) 50 to 130-150 mm. What seems to be a lot. And for those who do not live in the tropics, and in general – too much.
But for some reason, they say that at least the beginning of May in Cuba may be surprisingly dry. Yes, it is not always sunny, but the sky is more often frowning than decides to sobering the vacationers with a powerful showers.
However, even in the latter case, you should not tear the hair from despair. For completely suddenly the rain can stop, as it was not. And the sun: tropical and therefore quickly leaking puddles to the bottom, shines again in the sky.
Yes, probably in such weather it is not very pleasant to travel on excursions and generally move away from the sea breeze believing for a long time. But the beach vacation at the end, if not the first week, then 10 days begins to bother with its measured monotony. Well, it’s hard for every day to observe a wide strip of a deserted almost beach – May – Nessoson – and floundering into the sea of invariably affectionate and crystal transparency?!
Humidity
On the “Island of Freedom” in the epilogue of spring, of course, has no physical ability to stay at levels recommended by doctors. Although it rarely gets to 90% during this period – about 80% stands standardly.
Tender spa resort and this is enough to say – I will not go and that’s it. But most tourists, especially those who have rested in June in Kemer or Antalya, dismissively wave their hand – have not seen it.
By the way, it is worth considering that on Kayo, that is, to the north of the coast of Cuba, in May it breathes easier-because of the sea breeze constantly ventilating the air. Therefore, at the end of spring it is better to go to Kayo-Koko than to Varadero or Olgin.
At night in Cuba, throughout the last spring month of the whole drop is colder-2-3 degrees. Therefore, if you hope to taste coolness at the end of a hot day, go better to the room, under the canopy of the air conditioner.
Water temperature
At the end of spring, it is not at all prone to fluctuations: +27-28 degrees and a point. On the one hand, such numbers delight the gaze of vacationers who sometimes come from the places where snow still lies. On the other hand, such warm water is not able to very refresh.
Choose time for swimming – you will have to. For in the middle of the day in open spaces bakes so that it becomes not up to swimming.
It is much more correct and definitely healthy to swim in the morning or in general – wonderful – pre -order hours. In order to then smoothly shake on the beach pati, arranged by the hotel. You are going to go on the condition of “all inclusions”, right?
Cuba in June
When do rains begin, which, in fact, make up the “glory” of the Cuban raw season? That’s right – at the end of spring and early summer! However, as each first notes, who was visiting this period on the “Island of Freedom”, does not look particularly frightening.
Yes, the shows happen, and sometimes strong ones – boiling rivers form on the sidewalks and roads. There are thunderstorms, and it rummages here in tropically juicy, which is called “all the money”.
But quite quickly nature calms down. As if he says to himself – not time yet: when the season of hurricanes will begin in Cuba, then we take a walk!
Is it worth it to be surprised that such cataclysms do not scare too much and not to such “turns” of the Russian? And if he caught the eye with a tour with a much more pretty than a high -season price, it becomes not at all to fears. People gather literally in a day, and somewhere in a taxi they begin to tune themselves to the “right” wave.
Humidity
During this period, high – from 80% and higher. So about shirts – sticking to the body – pure truth.
Like the fact that most tourists are constantly looking for salvation in water. Heated to +29, and at times and +30 degrees Celsius. So if you hear about “fresh milk”, do not think and doubt it is close to the truth.
Air temperature
In Cuba in early June, only a deaf night returns to the territory below +30 ° C. In the afternoon, it easily overcomes the level of +35 degrees Celsius – and, in the shade. It is not worth waiting for the weakening of the heat to the end of the month – thermometers will show approximately the same.
Therefore, in no case do not forget to take with you on vacation a sunscreen with SPF at least 50. By the way, grab a remedy for mosquitoes and midges, and “pretty” – the Cuban insect is completely nothing.
Therefore, in the reviews of complaints about the mosquitors and their number is almost more than about anything else. For the assortment of Cuban stores is not just poor (when you start looking for fumigators and sprays, see) Consider it that not. And this is on the main island – the Cayo is even worse.
Prices 2025
Today they no longer seem fantastic, and why? After all, a couple of vacationers from Moscow can spend 10-11 days on the May Cuba for a modest amount in the region of 250-300 thousand rubles (~ 2,500-3,000 €). This is on everything ready and even with animators.
June for reasons revealed above should be valued a little less. But in fact, for some reason it is more expensive-from 270-300 thousand rubles for two everything is just beginning. Rest in suite with sea views will cost 400-500 thousand or more.
Independent tourists from Moscow have no real opportunity to save. Since there will be airlines there and back will cost 140+ thousand rubles per person. And accommodation at a level of 4-5 stars and food is unlikely to be cheaper than 100 € per night.
But Canada citizens are pure luck. Since they can fly to Cuba from Toronto or Montreal and return back for an amount equivalent to 500 €.
What to do
Therefore, a set of entertainment events is again wide as in pre -ronavirus times. The list of possible entertainment is equally present: bathing and pouring free cocktails on the beach, lunar parties, skating and fishing on yachts plus diving.
Ah yes – extremals can take windsurfing – the winds are inflated by this piece of Cuban sushi be healthy. The rest, less active personalities, and tourists with children are usually content with water walks.
If you sit on the beaches, ride the islands themselves. With a tour or independently, on a “retro car” or an ordinary bus.
