Havana in November, is characterized by the predominance of warm days with little temperature variation.

This is the answer to the particularities of the regime of radiation and atmospheric circulation, which are inherent to the western part of the territory during this month, and also involved geographical physical characteristics of the locality.

The months of November, December and January are characterized by little sunshine, reporting in the hours before the meridian, the more light hours in after-noon. In research it was found that in this month has 22% chance of minor and equal values ​​are reached 3.0 hours light, 42% to lower values ​​and equal to 6.0 hours light and 80% for lower magnitudes or equal to 9.0 hours light.

In November low sun height values ​​are reported, which correspond to low magnitudes of solar radiation, reaching its peak at 12:00 hours.

In that month it is often the influx of migratory anticyclones (high pressure centers in the North American continent), which tend to move towards the southeast and then east. The masses of cold air companions reach Cuba after the cold fronts with winds north and tidal waves that occasionally cause storm surges on the coast.

After passage of the front, down the temperature and air moisture content, although this month the thermal contrast in Casablanca, where the meteorological institute is set, is not so large. The average for the capital is 2 to 3 cold fronts in the month.

Associated with migratory anticyclones on their way to the Atlantic, it is also produced a phenomenon known as “Brisote dirty”, typical of the northern coast and showers are generally short conclude before noon.

In addition, if one takes into account the extra effort to the heart is subjected, by increasing the volume of the circulatory system, going from colder other warmer climates, and the extraordinary overhead of the run a half marathon or a marathon, then comprises the existing dangerous unless it has proper acclimatization period to the characteristics of the tropics.

In order to minimize this potential problem and promote physiological adaptation to the new situation, the arrival of participants colder than ours, some time before the date of racing geographical areas is recommended.

Finally, it warns about the high values ​​that get to take the temperature of the asphalt on the streets and avenues where the event will take place, especially in clear sky conditions, suggesting taking steps for each corridor, aimed at prevent this heat gain by the athlete during the race.
