Abstract

This report presents a description of the state of the climate in Cuba during 2021, based on the analysis of climate indices and variable behavior, as well as some factors that regulate the climate variability in Cuba and the region. These indices provide the most relevant information in relation to last year's climate variations. The annual mean temperature was the third highest since 1951, reaching a value of 0.86°C above the historical average for the period 1961-1990. Correspondingly, 23 maximum temperature records were broken. The La Niña 2021-2022 event influenced the active hurricane season 2021. The annual accumulated rainfall was below the historical average in almost the entire country, which led to meteorological and agricultural drought.
