Preparations were taken ahead of Paula to protect the tobacco crop.
The tropical storm moved inland over western Cuba during Thursday afternoon, about 40 miles southwest of Havana, the capital city and major commercial centre of Cuba. Wind gusts of up to 54 mph lashed Havana during the evening, downing trees, lampposts and power lines. Many areas in the city had power outages and lost water services. The heavy rain resulted in street flooding, especially in poor drainage areas.
Paula continued to weaken into a tropical depression as it interacted with land deep into Thursday night and Friday morning. The rain and gusty winds will taper off across the country as the depression pulls away today.

2010-10-14 22.00 GMT - HURRICANE PAULA UPDATE

On this track Paula will be passing very near or over Western Cuba by tonight or early Thursday. Its maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 140 km per hour with higher gusts. Paula is a category one hurricane on the SAFFIR-SIMPSON hurricane wind scale. A gradual weakening is expected during the next day or two.

2010-10-13 16.30 GMT - HURRICANE PAULA UPDATE

The winds will be increased gradually, starting from the west part of the Pinar del Rio region, and reach the force of hurricane from next dawn.

2010-10-13 13.00GMT - HURRICANE PAULA FORECAST
Hurricane Paula has brushed off the Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula coast without causing much damage. Western Cuba, however, will likely not be so fortunate, the experts predict. It still remains a powerful Category 2 hurricane that is passing within 70 miles east of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Paula is a very compact hurricane with tropical storm-force winds extending up to 60 miles away from its center. That distance is down to 15 miles in terms of the destructive hurricane-force winds. It is expected to slam into western Cuba tonight as a Category 1 hurricane. The torrential rain bands will increase and Paula will unleash its strongest winds tonight into Thursday. The winds will be capable of causing widespread tree damage and power outages. Poorly constructed homes and older mobile homes will sustain significant damage. The winds will become less destructive into Saturday as Paula weakens over Cuba. The hurricane's interaction with land and an increase in wind shear (strong winds high in the atmosphere) will lead to Paula's eventual demise. Despite weakening, Paula will still spread torrential rainfall across western and central Cuba into Saturday. Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches with localized totals up to 10 inches threaten to ignite significant flooding and mudslides.

Tourist Advisory

The weather is hot and sunny all year round. April and May though are especially good. Then you have the most sunny days, low rainfall, low humidity, hot, but not too hot and no hurricanes. In addition, and rather perversely, generally this time, except the Easter week, is “low season”. So, you should see that flights, hotels, package holidays and car rentals are at the lowest rates but with relatively high availability. Please note some Hotels and Car models are popular all year so bookings are advisable as far in advance as possible.
