The equability of heat throughout the day is masked and relieved by the afternoon sea breezes.
The climate of Cuba is tropical and distinctively insular in characteristics of humidity, equability and high mean temperature.
Owing to the beauty of its site and the equability of its climate, and to its being screened by lofty hills on the north, east and west, and open to the sea-breezes of the south, it has a high reputation as a winter residence.
In the region of Galveston, along the northern section of the coast, where southerly or south-easterly winds from the Gulf prevail throughout the year, the climate is warm, moist and equable, but the moisture decreases westward and south-westward, and the equability, partly because of northerly winds during the winter months, decreases in all directions inland.
The equability of the temperature also decreases appreciably from the sea-coast to the interior.
