Je prévois un voyage d'une semaine à Cuba aux environs du 14 janvier. Les informations sur la température m'inquiète quelque peu... Il semble que les statistiques situent la moyenne aux environs de 20-21. Et risques de pluie. Est-ce vraiment ce qui se passe?
Et pourquoi donc? Je regarde pour un 5 étoiles. Je ne veux qu'une semaine de repos... l'hiver dernier je suis allé en République et j'ai aimé....ne rien faire ahah
Au printemps, j'envisage de nouveau la France ou l'Espagne.
Les risques de pluies sont très faibles en janvier à Cuba. Toutefois, il est vrai que pour la chaleur, c'est risqué. Il peut faire très chaud, comme il peut faire froid parfois... Je me souviens que le 3 janvier 2008, il a fait 8 à La Havana... Mais deux jours avant, il faisait 30...
En général, les journées sont confortables, et les soirées un peu plus fraiches. Plus vous allez vers le sud de UCba, mieux c'est. Holguin et Santiago sont généralement des endroits où vous aurez plus de cahnce d'avoir de la chaleur.
Mais pour avoir une garantie de chaleur, vous êtes mieux d'aller dans des pays plus au sud.
Bonjour,
Cuba dispose d'un climat subtropical modéré, avec prédominance de températures chaudes.
Il y a en moyenne à Cuba 330 jours de soleil par an.
On distingue deux saisons :
- la saison des pluies (mai-octobre)
- la saison sèche (novembre-avril).
En janvier il fait en moyenne 22°/23°: températures très agréables
Mille mercis. Ça m'encourage à poursuivre mes recherches. J'ai un très bon prix pour un séjour de 8 nuits à partir de la ville de Québec pour Varadero le 14 janvier. Je me laisse de plus en plus tenter... Mais le Mexique n'est pas exclus.
Pour vous aider dans votre magasinage, consultez la carte des destinations interactive du site internet de l'Aéroport de Québec (cliquez sur Caraîbe au dessus de la carte) :
pour la chaleur a cuba en jan. faut aller plus au sud comme holguin, manzanillo de cuba la c est tres chaud mais la plage est pas fait de sable blanc , trinidad est plus chaud que varadero aussi , aussi cienfuegos claude
Cuba en janvier a toujours été un risque d'incertitude pour la chaleur.Il est préférable d'aller plus au sud, pour la chaleur garantie en janvier, il y a le Nicaragua qui est très bien ainsi que l'île de Marguarita.

Salut l'an passé nous avons été a varadero du 10 au 17 janvier , nous avons eu une semaine tres venteuse, la moyenne de la temperature a été 22 degrés, nous avons eu une journée ou il a fais 18 degrés mais il ne faut pas oublier que pendant ce temps ici au quebec il y avais une vague de froid donc a comparer nous étions bien🙂Mais si tu veux etre certain d'avoir de la chaleur ce n'est peux etre pas le bon endroit a plus Daniele
Il est vrai que rien n'est guarantie en ce qui a trait a la temperature; mais je crois que tu peux avoir de la tres belle temperature a la mi-janvier dans le sud de l'ile. Je voyage toujour en Janvier de chaque année. J'y vais en Janvier depuis 6 ans a Cuba. J'ai fait Holguin, Manzanillo, et Trinidad. Je n'ais jamais eu de probleme.
Au pire nous avons eu des soirées plus froide et un blouson etait requis mais de jour le plus froid que j'ai vue ces une journée de +/- 22 celsius. Normalement c'est entre 25 et 32 degré.
Si tu veux un bel hotel, avec grand luxe, ta meilleure option est le PARADISUS RIO DE ORO Holguin.
Je n'y suis jamais aller mais de bon amis y vont regulierement et ils adorent. Moi je trouve ca un peu dispendieux pour la difference de services. Mon choix irait avec le Playa Pesquero. Un 4.5 etoiles tres bien coté. J'y suis aller et crois moi c'est un bon 4, 0 étoiles n'importe ou. Il y a souvent une diffence de prix de $500/ personne entre les 2 hotels. La difference ne vaut pas le débourser. La chambre est beaucoup plus belle au Paradisus mais les sites et activitées sont assez equivalentes. Le Pesquero est un tres gros complexe avec +/- 900 chambre.Le Paradisus = 250 Suites de Luxes
Un dernier choix, serait le Playa Coste Verde. On parle d'un vrai 4.0 etoiles qui est tres bien coté egalement.
il est juste a coté du Pesquero. Les habituées du coin vont souvent a cet hotel! Il n'y a pas de grosse difference avec le Pesquero. Meme si c'est un 4 étoiles encore une fois a mes yeux c'est un vrai 4 etoiles. Je n'ai vraiment rien a redire de cet hotel. Le complexe est plus petit...seulement 480 chambres ( Quand meme! ). Je l'ai decouvert l'année derniere pour y avoir rester. Une semaine en derniere minute et le prix etait bon. Qu'elle surprise agréable. J'ai tellement aimer que j'y retourne le 24 janvier de cette année! Pas de derniere minute car je voulais cet hotel. Je pouvais avoir le Pesquero presque au meme prix!!!Si tu fais des recherches tu veras qu'on parle d'une plage plus rocailleuse...Wow il y a du monde difficile. L'hotel est situé devant une frayère a poisson qui est catégorisé comme une reserve ecologique. La plage est tres belle mais on la laisse un peu plus a l'etat naturel. La qualité de l'apné y est vraiment bonne. un vrai aquarium! L'hotel a été completement reconstruit suite au passage de Ike l'année derniere et les facilitées sont en tres bonne conditions. Il reste de choses a faire au Pesquero...comme le complexe est plus grand... Les chambres ne sont pas aussi luxueuse qu'au Pesquero. mais c'est bien..C'est propre et tout. Nous ont ne passent pas beucoup de temps dans nos chambre alors.
Pour finir les 2 autres régions sont du coté de la mer des caraibes (sud de l'ile). La temperature sera plus certaine mais les complexes hotellier sont moins beau que ce que je viens de te décrire plus haut. Surtout si recherche le luxe.
Mille mercis pour ces informations. Cuba fait évidemment partie de mes projets de voyage, mais je n'ai pas renoncé à l'idée du Mexique où je ne suis jamais allé non plus. As-tu déjà voyagé au Mexique (je m'imagine que oui!!!) et que penses-tu de la Riviera Maya milieu janvier?

Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Bonjour à tous, j envisage de partir visiter l île de Maurice qui peut me donner son avis pour choisir la période ? Mon séjour serait plus pour avril, mai ou juin.... Pour vous quel mois choisir pour avoir les meilleurs conditions pour plages, bronzette et visites de l île ? Merci !
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.
Anne Marie
I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Bonjour,
Nous souhaitons visiter Porto à mi février pendant 5 jours.
est ce que le climat est quand même sympas?
J'hésite entre Porto ou Lisbonne?
Merci
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Marie
So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

hi
It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hello, We’re heading to Finnish Lapland near Rovaniemi as a family at the end of February with two kids (8 and 14 years old). We’ve got direct flights with Luxairstours. The itinerary is already set, but I’m wondering if anyone has traveled with Luxair before and knows exactly what kind of clothes they provide on the second day? The agency just told me it’s a heavy-duty cold-weather suit. I’m thinking we should get Sorel Caribou boots, maybe second-hand. Here’s what I’ve already planned:
- Thermolactyl leggings and tights from Damart for the whole family as a base layer.
- A first layer of Damart socks + Nordic Stocks socks in 70% merino wool for all four of us.
- Loose fleece layers, including some Polartec.
- Ski pants for hikes.
- For my son and me, a The North Face Himalayan down parka with a hood.
- A ski parka for my husband and my 14-year-old daughter (she *really* wants a Roxy one—I hope it’ll be warm enough).
- For myself, for the flight and the first day at Santa’s village, I’ve packed The North Face winter hiking pants, a long-sleeve merino wool top from Decathlon (thin), a fleece, and my big parka.
I’m wondering if I should just pack fleece joggers or sweatpants for the kids and my husband, at least for the first and last days, to be comfortable on the plane?
I’m also planning to buy balaclavas and neck warmers in addition to our beanies, as well as mittens for all of us. I really need advice because I have no idea—I’ve never been skiing! Also, for a 4-night, 5-day trip, should I pack a second set of base layers, like from Odlo?
Of course, I’ll be leaving cotton clothes out of the suitcase.
As you can tell, I’m someone who gets cold easily—especially my feet, hands, and ears—so that’s my biggest worry. I *don’t* want to be cold, even at -20°C during dog sledding, snowmobiling, or aurora hunting when we might be standing still. We won’t be in the city, and the kids will likely spend most of their time outside, as they usually do.
Bonjour
J'envisage d'aller début août 10 jourd au Groenland.
Sauriez vous me dire à quel temps et température m'attendre?
J'ai entendu dire qu'il y a des moustiques?
Merci😊
Sunny destinations in October???
Not too much rain.
Martinique, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Mauritius, Cape Verde, or somewhere else?????
Any tips? Thanks for your help
Hi there, I’m planning a trip to Thailand from October 16 to 29, 2025, with my two teens.
We’d love to explore Southern Thailand (for the beaches...).
I’ve read that it’s the end of the rainy season—do you think it’s a bad idea or not?
Also, I’m familiar with traffic in Asian countries—it’s pretty challenging.
Do you think I should go through an agency for a well-defined itinerary?
Or do you have any tips for hotels and getting around?
Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks in advance! 😊
