Havana, Dec 23 (RHC) Temperatures in central and western Cuba will be marked from tonight by a mass of cold air of arctic origin.
Miriam Teresita Llanes, head of the Forecasting Center of the Institute of Meteorology, said that winter conditions should prevail until the middle of next week, more reinforced on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
The effect of the strong north wind should be taken into account. The cold thermal sensation will range between 12 and 10 degrees, or maybe less said Llanes.
The models show maximum temperature values during the daytime with an average of 18 degrees Celsius, even with lower records in some areas.
There will be mostly cloudy skies during the weekend in both regions of the archipelago, with swells on the northern western coast.
