Clock rules in Havana
Havana keeps CST (UTC−5) in winter and CDT (UTC−4) in summer, the time of all of Cuba.
2026 is an exception. Cuba did not fall back on November 1, 2026: under tzdata 2026f it keeps Cuba Daylight Time (UTC−4) through the winter of 2026–27, until November 7, 2027, so for that winter Havana is an hour ahead of New York instead of on the same time.
Local mean solar time at 82.38° W is UTC−5:30, so standard time runs 30 min ahead of the sun: it is highest at about 12:30 PM (an hour later in summer).
The zone’s rules, coming changes and history are on the America/Havana page.
