We received news yesterday from our good friend Orlando Batista who lives near Guardalavaca in Eastern Cuba. He tells us that it is very hot there at the moment. So hot in fact that the all-time highest temperature in Cuba of 38.7 C has been broken yesterday when 40.2 C was recorded in Songo la Maya also in the east of the island just NE of Santiago de Cuba.
But the rains have started today and the temperature has dropped to the high 20's at its peak which is a lot more bearable, though the humidity is now a lot higher. And hopefully the rains will dampen down the many fires that have been started accidentally.
Orlando is a great guide, speaks very good English and has his own taxi. More than that he knows lots of good butterfly and birding sites so do think of using him if you are in Cuba. His email is orlandobatista AT nauta.cu
