Cuba (Varadero Beach) in June
Not the best time
Cheaper prices and fewer crowds, but the trade-off is higher humidity and daily afternoon storms. Still manageable if you adjust your schedule around the rain.
Weather
June officially kicks off the wet season with high humidity and regular afternoon downpours. Mornings can be beautiful but the heat builds quickly. Thunderstorms are common but usually brief and intense.

All Months
November through April delivers Varadero's perfect weather: temperatures around 24-27°C, minimal rainfall, and steady trade winds that keep humidity manageable. This is peak season, so expect higher prices and crowded resorts. Book accommodations at least three months ahead for travel between December and March.
May and October work well as shoulder seasons. You'll find lower rates and fewer crowds, though May brings higher humidity and October marks the tail end of hurricane season. Rain usually comes in short, intense bursts rather than all-day downpours.
Avoid June through September unless you enjoy serious heat and humidity. Temperatures push past 30°C, afternoon thunderstorms arrive almost daily, and hurricane risk peaks between August and October. Some restaurants and attractions reduce hours during this period.
The Christmas and New Year period sees the highest prices and most crowded conditions. Many resorts require minimum seven-night stays during these weeks, and flights from North America book solid by October.
