The best time to go to Cuba is from November to April. This is when you will find the driest climate with balmy temperatures typically hovering in the late 20°Cs at the warmest part of the day. As the best period climate wise throughout the islands, it is correspondingly busy, so it is best to plan as far in advance as you can. May to July sees similar temperatures, but ushers in the early part of the wet season so you can expect to see a few more rainy days. However, the showers do not usually last and should not limit your options. August to October is low season - the wettest and most humid months. There is also an increased risk of tropical storms and hurricanes during this period, though Cuba is very much a year round destination.
