HAVANA TIMES — The short winter enjoyed in the city gives way to more Caribbean weather conditions at this time of year. On the weather map a quasi-stationary trough is seen extending from southeastern Louisiana to the Yucatan Peninsula. The island is under the influence of warm winds from the east.

The days will be sunny, clouding up in the afternoons with a chance of rain, most likely on the weekend. The wind will be moderate from the East until Sunday, then from the north, which will cool temperatures slightly from Monday. Early mornings will be pleasant.

The maximum temperature will reach 32° C (90° F) on Thursday and Friday descending to 28° C (82° F) on Monday. The lows will range around 20° C (68° F).

The sea surface temperature will be around 26° C (79° F).
