HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 30 (acn) A cold snap set the lowest temperatures for October on Wednesday in several sites of the interior of western Cuba. The minimum recorded was 9.0 Celsius degrees in Guines, southeast of the capital.
The sharp drop in temperature, unusual for this time of the year in the Caribbean island, is due to a massive continental Artic air mass, along with little cloud cover and weak winds in the interior and south of the country.
A report by Granma daily newspaper says that other record lows were set in several towns in Havana province with temperatures of 9.2 in Tapaste; 9.3 in Melena del Sur; 9.4 in Bainoa; 10.9 in Batabano; and 11.2 in Guira de Melena, according to Anolkys Mengana of the Cuban Forecast Center.
The weather stations in Santiago de las Vegas reported 12.5 and Casablanca, across the bay from Old Havana, registered 18.4, said the expert.
