Havana, like much of Cuba, enjoys a year-round tropical climate that is tempered by the island's position in the belt of the trade winds and by the warm offshore currents. Under the K�ppen climate classification, Havana has a tropical savanna climate. Average temperatures range from 72 �F (22 �C) in January and February to 82 �F (28 �C) in August. The temperature seldom drops below 50 �F (10 �C). The lowest temperature was 33 �F (1 �C) in Santiago de Las Vegas, Boyeros. The lowest recorded temperature in Cuba was 32 �F (0 �C) in Bainoa, Havana province. Rainfall is heaviest in June and October and lightest from December through April, averaging 46 inches (1,200 mm) annually. Hurricanes occasionally strike the island, but they ordinarily hit the south coast, and damage in Havana has been less than elsewhere in the country
