Thus, the previous record was 0.6 °C and was recorded almost 30 years ago – in the province of Mayabeque on February 18, 1996.
According to the National Meteorological Institute of Cuba, on the morning of February 3, it was “very cold” throughout the country – 32 weather stations recorded temperatures of 10 °C or lower.
