Season coefficients are calibrated per city, not shared. Across Cuba the peak-to-low swing runs 72%–72%, widest in Havana (72%, tropical dry-season peak pattern: low May–Jun, Sep–Oct at ×0.76, peak Jan–Feb, Dec at ×1.31). Demand follows the dry season and the northern winter escape; the wet months discount hard because arrivals fall, not because supply shrinks.
