Excellente réponse Elche......lors de mon tout premier voyage à Cuba ( 2008) j'ai vécu l'expérience d'un ouragan et j'ai pu contater la vigilance des autorités cubaines face à ces évènements. Là où je réside à Cuba, j'ai pu constater également le contrôle et l'efficacité au niveau des désinfections de domiciles ....c'est à voir croyez-moi....
Je ne comprends pas l'obstination de ce monsieur en haut . je ne comprends pas son objectif .....on vous remercie de l'information ....vous avez droit à vos commentaires ....mais là...çà suffit .....ré-écrire constamment les mêmes informations de fa^con régulière et continue ...c'est une forme de plluage de site ...Sur ce, même si vous me répondez, n'espérez pas une réponse de moi à ce sujet.....Pour les autres participants, excusez-moi je ne pouvais plus lire ce monsieur.
Bonjour. Il y a toujours des gens qui veulent se montrer plus connaissants que les autres ou encore raconter des histoires qui font peur !! Ce monsieur RenaudSechet a probablement été atteint de le dengue et a trop avaler de mer boueuses !!!! 😎😛
et fidel qui n'a pas encore agité sa baguette magique pour sauver les peuples des iles maudites!!!
extraits: Aussi les ministres de la Santé et de l'Outre-Mer ont-ils appelé ce mercredi 29 juillet à "la mobilisation de tous" pour enrayer l'épidémie.
En Guadeloupe, 19 800 cas "cliniquement évocateurs de dengue" ont été enregistrés depuis le début de l'épidémie fin 2009, dont 2 815 cas "biologiquement confirmés", indique l'IVS. Deux décès sont attribuables à la dengue, dont celui d'un enfant de 3 ans en juillet.
La Martinique est moins touchée avec près de 13 000 cas, "mais avec des formes plus sévères dont 8 décès", indiquent Roselyne Bachelot et Marie-Luce Penchard.
il s'agit de chiffres datant de fin juillet, soit le tout début de la saison cyclonique, les epidemies de dengues annuelles étant de plus en plus frequentes statistiquement jusqu'en novembre, avant de revenir a des niveaux plus bas pendant la saison seche en fevrier mars (ce qui n'empeche ni les cas observés ni les décès hélas, il sont juste moins fréquents)
ce sont la les chiffres d'iles avec des systemes de santé et de suivi epidémiologiques reconnus internationalement
A cuba, même s'il y a beaucoup de médecins diplomés et compétents, le manque de moyens, de laboratoires, de médicaments... ne permet pas de fournir de données aussi étayées et exhaustives
aucun cas de dengue de rapporté dans les dernières années
cela ne signifie hélas pas qu'il n'y en a pas eu (meme avec le maillage serré et le suivi épidémiologique de la guadeloupe et de la martinique entre autres, il existe toujours des cas non repertoriés comme tels)
mon conseil (certainement pas du gout des tour operateurs, ni des propagandistes cubains):
- eviter de partir en vacances en regions et en saison cyclonique
- en tout temps, éviter de s'exposer aux heures d'activite maximum des moustiques (aube et crépuscule)
- préférer manches longues et pantalons, même au prix d'un inconfort du a la chaleur (l' inconfort du a la dengue peut etre définitif)
- utiliser des repulsifs, et des moustiquaires
et quoi...je n'ai pas vu Cuba cité dans cet article. Je n'ai jamais parlé du reste des Antilles que je ne connais pas et quand je ne connais pas, je m'abstiens.
http://www.lexpress.fr/...432.html#xtor=AL-447
au temps pour moi, c'etait toi l'initiatrice du post
quant aux cyclones, les prévisions mises a jour annoncent toujours une saison plus active que la moyenne
bon voyage quand meme
tu te trompes de personne si tu regardes bien le début
Bon bon bon... C'était moi qui posait une question et visiblement Renaudsechet, tu sembles avoir oublié la question que je posais en premier lieu... Je voulais avoir des renseignements sur les risques d'ouragan. Je ne sais pas quelle est ton obstination au sujet de la dengue mais en tout cas, on a compris ton point depuis longtemps...
avec l'expérience que tu as des Antilles et Cuba , j'espère que tu pourras me renseigner et confirmer les craintes pour partir à Cuba du 22 octobre au 2 novembre 2010. En effet, j'ai lu tout ce qui pouvait se dire sur les cyclones en été et pour septembreet octobre, mais là nous partons fin octobre, nous sommes à la fin de la période humide Est ce que les risques sont les m^mes, est ce qu'il pleur toujours autant ? Merci de me donner plus d'info
Innobri84
Allô, d'une année à l'autre, ce n'est pas pareil et cette année est supposée être une année assez active du côté ouragans. Ça m'est arriver de voir des ouragans en juillet comme en octobre donc impossible à prévoir.
Merci de la réponse, donc la meilleure période serait Décembre ou Février pour toi ? (nous devons partir impérativement pendant les vacances scolaires) je crois que l'on va éliminer Cuba pour les vacances de la Toussaint (trop de risques d'être déçu par le temps et l'angoisse des cyclones !)
Je ne sais pas comment ça se passe du côté de la France mais ici lorsqu'il y a un ouragan en vue, notre agence de voyage nous propose une autre destination ou nous fait un crédit pour une autre période car ils ne prennent normalement pas de chance. Et si parfois il y a un ouragan pendant votre séjour à Cuba (je ne sais pas pour le reste des Antilles), les autorités cubaines vont vous déplacer vers les terres. Je me souviens en 2005, j'étais à Cayo Largo et un ouragan se pointait le nez vers ce cayo et toute l'île a été évacué et nous ont transféré à Varadero pendant 4 jours et nous ont ramenés sur le cayo par la suite car finalement l'ouragan avait changé de trajectoire alors Cuba est très efficace et très prudent vis à vis les ouragans.
Cuba: risques d'ouragans plus pour septembre ou octobre?
pas eu de nouvelles a ton retour, mais aujourd hui j ai une petite pensee pour les gens qui ont cru que:
Cuba ont l'habitude avec les ouragans et je pars tranquille car ils ne prennent aucune chance. Partez en paix.

Hurricane Sandy, the largest Atlantic tropical system in diameter on record, [1][2][3] is a late-season tropical cyclone that has affected Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the eastern seaboard of the United States, reaching to the area south of the Great Lakes Region of the United States, and Eastern Canada.
Cuba
Hurricane Sandy damage in Guantanamo Bay
Hurricane Sandy strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane before hitting Cuba.[22] At least 55,000 people had been evacuated principally because of expected flooding from rains that could total up to 20 inches (500 mm) in some places and a storm surge the Cuban weather service said was already beginning along the southeastern coast around midnight EDT.[167] Sandy made landfall just west of Santiago de Cuba, the country's second-largest city, as a strong Category 2 hurricane, with the strong eastern eyewall passing directly over the city.[168][169] The eye of the storm came ashore just west of the city with waves up to 29 feet (9 meters) and a six-foot (2 meter) storm surge that caused extensive coastal flooding.[170]
Reports from the area after the passage of Sandy spoke of widespread damage, particularly to Santiago de Cuba. Electricity and water services had been knocked out, and most of the trees in the city had either been ripped off their roots or had lost all their leaves. A local TV reporter told Cuban state television that many of the city's 300,000 homes were reportedly in bad shape before the storm and were left vulnerable to high winds and heavy rain. Several Cuban provinces promised to send brigades to help Santiago recover, although officials gave a long list of other towns that suffered devastation. Guantánamo followed a similar fate to Santiago, with television showing telephone poles and cables down across the city. Several historic buildings in the center of town were reportedly damaged. State media has said at least 11 people in Cuba were killed as a result of the storm, and Raúl Castro planned to visit Santiago de Cuba in the coming days. Nine of the deaths were in Santiago de Cuba Province and two were in Guantánamo Province and most of the victims were trapped in destroyed houses.[171][172] This makes Sandy the deadliest hurricane to hit Cuba since 2005, when Hurricane Dennis killed 16 people.[173]
Damage to the U.S. Guantanamo Bay Naval Base was not as severe, and there were no reports of injuries at the base. The highest sustained winds were below hurricane strength at 54 miles per hour (87 km/h), with a maximum gust of 66 miles per hour (106 km/h). The storm damaged roofs and windows in a few older buildings and tore some of the power cables within the facility. Several recreational boats broke off their moorings, but there was no damage to the prison, according to Navy Capt. Robert Durand.[174]
et pour l ouragan dennis en 2005, qui dans cette discussion selon les versions avait laisse de 0 a 16 morts a cuba:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Dennis#Caribbean
From there the storm moved to Cuba, leaving 16 people dead and $1.4 billion in damages as it roared through the island, flattening houses and downing trees and power lines. Heavy rainfall fell across the country, with amounts reaching up to 1092 mm/42.99 inches, making Dennis the wettest storm for the island since Hurricane Flora of 1963.[18] According to reports from the Cuban government, 120,000 homes were damaged, 15,000 of which were destroyed. The citrus and vegetable industries were also devastated as Cuba's primary agricultural regions were the hardest hit. Nonetheless, Fidel Castro publicly refused US aid after the storm in protest of the ongoing US trade embargo against Cuba, stating that, "If they offered $1 billion we would say no."[19] Relayed reports from Cuban meteorologists stated that a gust up to 149 mph (239 km/h) was detected at Cienfuegos, 85% of the power lines were down, and extensive damage to the communications infrastructure had occurred. Dennis was more destructive than the previous year's Hurricane Charley and was widely regarded as the worst hurricane to strike Cuba since Hurricane Flora in the 1963 season.
Cuba ont l'habitude avec les ouragans et je pars tranquille car ils ne prennent aucune chance. Partez en paix.
selon les bilans provisoires, déjà 11 personnes sont «parties», en paix j espere pour elles (mais je ne sais pas pourquoi, j en doute)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy_(2012)#Impact
les organismes et associations de secours internationales commencent a appeler aux dons et aux volontaires qui pourraient se rendre sur place (le bilan provisoire alors que sandy sevit encore au dessus des etats unis avant de finir sa probable trajectoire sur le canada: 85 morts «partis en paix» sur 7 pays
Je part pour une semaine a Amigo carisol los corales a 75km de santiago...Il y quelq'un qui est allez la ba dernierement ? Si oui, comment ca se passent ?

Hi everyone.
I’m planning a trip to Colombia in 2027.
The idea is to arrive in May.
From what I’ve gathered, that’s the start of the rainy season.
Can anyone confirm that it’s already raining a lot during that period?
I know the climate can obviously vary from one region of the country to another.
I’d really like to go straight to Leticia in the Amazon.
Any info on the weather at that time?
I’m also looking for a plan for an Amazon tour.
Specifically, a good, conscientious agency that does things right in terms of environmental respect.
I already did a tour in Peru 10 years ago in the Pacaya Samiria reserve, and it was amazing.
The simple reason was that the tour was on a motor-free canoe—we made no noise, so the immersion was total.
Is it possible to find a tour in Leticia that offers a motor-free boat excursion?
Thanks in advance for your answers, and fair winds to everyone!!
Hi! I’m on vacation from 10/31 to 11/7 and want to go somewhere sunny. I’m leaving from Toulouse and the flight can’t be more than 5 hours.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help
We want to do a few safaris, visit villages, the mountains, see tea plantations, etc. But we also want to see turtles. We love snorkeling but aren’t experts—we’re just happy to see colorful fish and coral. We’ve always wanted to see turtles too, so the idea is still to see *something* underwater 😊
Can you tell us which regions to prioritize and which to avoid given the climate at this time of year? Thanks a million!
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?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
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.

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.
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!
