- Hot tours around the world
In November, Cuba regains the status of one of the main resorts of the Caribbean region. The tourist season is starting, hotels are updating their room stock, and prices are steadily rising. Of course, the weather is to blame for everything: the thermometer hangs at a comfortable level of +28 ° С, the stuffiness subsides, the amount of precipitation is halved, the sea and ocean give a pleasant freshness. True, at the beginning of the month, hurricanes hit the island according to the October habit, but this misfortune is easy to avoid by listening to weather forecasts and moving to safe areas of the coast.
November is a great time to explore Havana: during the day +27 ° С, in the evening +20 ° С, air humidity - 75%, the ocean warms up to +28 ° С, so that excursions around the capital can be alternated with a relaxing holiday on the beach, fishing and diving. In Varadero, the temperatures are similar (although the water is a degree cooler), the rains are rare and end quickly. In Pinar del Rio and Cienfuegos, air and water are warmed up to + 26 ... + 28 ° С, in Manzanillo it is hotter - up to + 30 ° С.
You can guess good weather on the main November holiday: on the Day of St. Cristobal (better known as Christopher Columbus), Havanese and guests of the capital come to the El Templete chapel and go around the old ceiba tree three times, mentally pronouncing their cherished desire.

Rest and weather in Cuba in November: water temperature, reviews and photos of tourists
As soon as in Russia, and in most European countries, slight frosts begin, almost simultaneously with this, the high tourist season begins on the island of freedom. It is in November 2020 that the weather in Cuba becomes more suitable for beach and sightseeing holidays. At the same time, the water temperature is still at a high level, which allows you to safely swim in the Caribbean. If you still doubt the expediency of a trip to rest overseas, then in vain. And that's why.
As you know, Cuba came under US sanctions a long time ago and seemed to be supposed to be isolated from the rest of the world. But this is not so at all. Life is in full swing on the island, and cities are being built and developed. Luxurious hotels, huge first-class complexes for tourists appeared in the resort areas. And all this on white sandy beaches right on the ocean. At the end of autumn, there are ten times more tourists in Cuba than a month earlier, and the weather plays a major role in this.
The rainy season, which lasted here all summer and most of autumn, is over and now rains on the island are extremely rare. As the rains subsided, the heat and humidity decreased. Daytime air temperature is kept at +27 +29 degrees. Sometimes, it can be 2-3 days per month, the temperature reaches +35 degrees, but it still won’t interfere with your vacation, since there will be no rain and the main thing for you is just to spend time in the sun more safely.
In the evening and after sunset, it becomes fresh. The air cools down to a comfortable +22 degrees Celsius, but even this temperature allows you to walk in shorts and other light clothes. At dawn, the air cools down most noticeably, and in the morning you can expect a drop of up to +15 degrees. It won't last long. Literally an hour after dawn, everything will fall into place and it will be warm again.
In November, swimming in the ocean is a pleasure. The water is warmed up to 28 degrees Celsius, it becomes clear and almost without high waves. Usually the waves are at great depths, and they do not always reach the shore. It is in November that surfers come to the island to try to catch their wave and ride it. Also this month, diving centers are reopening. Where you can rent equipment and, together with an instructor, dive underwater and explore the rich bottom of the ocean.
As we said, the rainy season is over. But precipitation still occurs, only not in such large quantities. It can rain 2-3 times a month depending on the region, and the amount of precipitation does not exceed 50 millimeters.
A distinctive feature of this month is high cloudiness. On average, clouds occupy 45% of the time of the month. True, these are not always thick clouds behind which the sun is not visible. Often clouds in the form of a thought, through which the sun's rays still find their way to the ground. And tourists do not notice much difference and continue to relax on the beaches.
Where is the best place to relax in Cuba in November
There are not so many world-famous resorts in the country, but even ordinary villages on the seashore attract the attention of tourists. The following table will help you understand where in Cuba it will be best to relax in late autumn.
