Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp forecast the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location from records such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are practices that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically based on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, and the time of year, although initially these They were not very accurate.
However, it was not until the arrival of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that made it possible to achieve more accurate predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsthis beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit to put on.

The Cuban archipelago is also characterized by having relatively high humidity, with averages close to 90%, which causes an intense sensation of heat for much of the year.
The record high temperature In the country, the town of Veguitas, in Granma, has it when on April 11, 2020 the thermometer rose to 39.3 degrees; In contrast, Baiona has the lowest mark, when on February 8, 1996 historically dropped to 0.6 degrees.
