The Cuban Institute of Meteorology (Insmet) reported today the value of 2.8 degrees Celsius at dawn in Bainoa, Mayabeque province, which constitutes a possible record for January.
The previous low temperature mark dated from the 14th day of the same month in 1981, the entity specified, in whose communication it highlighted the notable cold in the west of the country and in the interior of the central region, with a total of 34 stations with lower minimums at 10 degrees.
In Nueva Gerona, Isla de la Juventud special municipality, the monthly record was equaled, which occurred on January 23, 2020, while in Casa Blanca, Havana, a minimum value of 9.9 degrees Celsius was recorded.
In the rest of the Cuban territory —described the text— the minimum temperatures were between 14 and 17 degrees Celsius, higher in coastal areas.
The Insmet specialist Elier Pila detailed, through the social network Twitter, that from Unión de Reyes, Matanzas, they reported 3.5; You covered, 3.7; Bauta, 4.4; Güines, 4.8; Southern Mane, 4.8; Indian Hatuey, 5.8; all from Mayabeque.
On the other hand, Santiago de las Vegas, in Havana, confirmed 5.8, as well as Paso Real de San Diego, 6.0, in Artemisa, added the expert.
A mass of dry and very cold air of arctic origin affects the western and central regions of Cuba, which influences the current drops in temperatures, due to the predominance of skies with little cloudiness during the night hours and the weakness of the winds.
