Why Travel to Cuba in September
1. First of all, the temperature in Cuba gradually drops from this month on, and there are sometimes cool winds, which provides some relief from the sweltering weather in previous months and is conducive to traveling here.2. Next, September is the shoulder season for Cuban tourism, so the number of tourists is not big as in peak season, which means you can enjoy quieter surroundings even in some popular attractions and spend your vacation at a more leisurely pace. Moreover, the prices for accommodation, flights and tours is more favorable, which is good for budget travelers. It is not difficult to find a hotel to stay, either.
3. Finally, beaches are always at the top of the Cuban travel list, and the sea water temperature in September is very warm, suitable for all kinds of water activities.
Tips for Traveling to Cuba in September
1. Take frequent rainfall into consideration. Indoor cultural activities with unique Cuba characteristics such as cooking classes, salsa lessons and museum visits are more recommended on rainy days. Learning to dance salsa with experienced local dancers and make dishes with local ingredients is something worth trying in Cuba.2. As Cuba is in the tropical climate zone and the rainy and humid weather in September is prone to attract mosquitos, it’s very important to protect against sun, rain and insects when you travel at this time. Whenever you go outside, you should apply enough high-SPF sunscreen cream and mosquito repellent on your exposed skin and always carry an umbrella with you.
3. In the hurricane season, September is more vulnerable to tropical storms than other months and it may last for a few days when it happens, so you’d better check the local weather forecast from time to time during your stay, especially if you are in the southern coast.

Having Fun at Anniversary of CDRs, 2025
Every year on September 28th, Cubans hold an annual anniversary to celebrate the foundation of the CDR (Comité de la Defensa de la Revolution), which originated in 1960. Everyone in Cuba is a member of the local CDR, and these community-based CDR organizations can not only expatiate the latest government policies for the public, but also curb some criminal acts to some extent. The celebrations are featured by political speeches, street parties and delicious food, including children’s games and caldosa stewed in a big pot. During this anniversary, visitors can choose to stay in the guesthouses to interact with locals directly to get better into the celebratory atmosphere.September Weather of Major Cuba Cities
