Old Havana and the waterfront

This forecast is centred on Old Havana, where sightseeing can move from narrower streets into open squares. A day may also include a walk toward the waterfront. Those exposed stretches deserve a place in your plans, even if you begin under an arcade.

Street shade changes along the route

A shaded street does not describe a whole neighbourhood or the Malecón. This is an area forecast, not a street-by-street shade model. A sea breeze can make a waterfront stop feel cooler without showing how strong the UV is.

Compare the hours of your walk

Check when you expect to reach the squares and seafront, rather than only the reading when you leave your accommodation. A short morning tour can extend into outdoor lunch. The forecast does not describe beach conditions or other parts of Cuba.

Sun protection tips for Havana

  • Carry a hat and sunglasses for open squares and the waterfront.
  • Keep sunscreen accessible and bring covering clothing for longer walks.
  • Treat indoor and shaded breaks as part of the route rather than assuming the next street will have the same shelter.
