Our guide to the weather in Cuba during July
We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Cuba, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Cuba weather in July.
How hot is it in Cuba during July?
Expect heat in Cuba during July. The temperature hits about 31℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 24℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Cuba during July?
On average, there will be 21 rainy days during the month, amounting to 407.7mm in total. That's a lot of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. There's a good chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Cuba during July?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in July. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
How warm is the sea in Cuba during July?
The water around Cuba reaches a very pleasant 29℃ during July. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable. The hot air temperature and relatively high humidity will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.

21st April 2021 by Hand Luggage Only
When we decided to visit Havana in Cuba, we knew we'd have to pop into Vinales as well. It's one of the places we knew well in advance of actually arriving in Cuba that we'd have to explore. For the uninitiated, Vinales is in the Cuban countryside and is definitely a different experience to being in Havana.
