Abstract
In Cuba, periodically, rainfall study have been carried out to prepare isohyietic maps, with which historical reference values have been estimated. For it has used networks with different degrees of spatial and temporal coverage; and the analyzes have been eminently statistical, particularly aimed at completing the data and discussing its quality. In this article, a study is made of the annual rainfall in the 90 years between 1931 and 2020 and on a seasonal scale for the period 1961-2020. The objective is to characterize the annual and seasonal behavior of this variable in Cuba and the western, central and eastern regions, accompanied by the examination of the trends and average values in favorable, neutral or unfavorable scenarios according to the state of the climatic indices ENSO, NAO and the Hurricanes.
