Varadero in September
Not the best time
Hurricane season peaks with maximum storm risk and continued oppressive heat. Even bargain hunters should think twice about visiting during nature's most dangerous month here.
Weather
September sits in hurricane season's peak with the highest storm risk of the year. When storms aren't threatening, expect continued heat and humidity with daily downpours. Ocean temperature peaks at 28°C but rough seas are common.

September Tips
- •Seriously consider travel insurance that covers hurricane cancellations
- •Have backup indoor plans for every day
- •Keep cash on hand in case of power outages from storms
All Months
November through April gives you the sweet spot - dry weather, comfortable temperatures, and steady trade winds that keep humidity bearable. December and January see the most crowds and highest prices, especially around Christmas and New Year's. February and March offer the best balance of good weather and reasonable rates. April starts getting warmer but still pleasant. May through October brings rain, humidity, and hurricane season. But here's the upside: summer rates drop significantly, and afternoon thunderstorms usually clear quickly. Hurricane season runs June through November, with September and October seeing the highest risk. The water stays warm year-round (78-84°F), so swimming is always an option. Avoid March if you can - that's spring break season, and the peninsula gets overrun with college groups. November offers the best value - post-hurricane season but before peak winter rates kick in.
