Cubans experience the coldest morning
of the winter season
HAVANA, February 19 (PL)—. The Cuban people awoke
today to the lowest temperature of the current
winter season due to the 16th cold front to enter
national territory.
To this climatological phenomenon can be added
another frontal system felt throughout a large part
of national territory since the early hours of
Sunday morning.
The Meteorological Institute confirmed that the
coming week will see an intensification of wintry
conditions and temperatures could drop to new lows,
together with rainfall covering almost the entire
country.
For his part, this Sunday, Dr. José Rubiera did not
specify to what degree temperatures will fall but he
warned the population that Monday would be a very
cold day.
This situation is owed to the arrival of a
reinforcement of a mass of continental cold air that
follows a cold front.
“It’s not normal for there to be cold in February,
what is abnormal is that there has not been any up
to now,” commented Rubiera.
Cuban radio and television broadcast a warning from
the Meteorological Institute indicating the arrival
of a new cold front to the western region.
In the Cabo San Antonio – the most westerly point of
the country – gusts of up to 85 kilometers per hour
were registered, followed by Casa Blanca in the City
of Havana with 76 kilometers per hour and the region
of Bahía Honda at 64 kilometers per hour. |
