-Cuban Time
Cuba is a tropical island. The average temperature is 21 ° C in January and 27 ° C in July.

Note:
The Cuban convertible peso (CUC) was introduced by the Cuban financial authorities to get all foreign currencies out of circulation, and to offer an alternative that is in almost all senses equal to US dollars. It replaces the dollar as a currency, where previously dollars were quoted in places such as hotels, restaurants and so-called "dollar stores", and it is the new "tourist" currency.
US dollars were widely accepted throughout the island, but since November 8, 2004 US dollars are no longer accepted, and a 10% commission is charged to exchange them. Since then, national banks have introduced the Convertible Peso (CUC) as a substitute for foreign currencies, which is almost equal in value to the US dollar. The money should only be exchanged at the official exchange office or banks to avoid scams confusing the two currencies.
