| CLIMATE | ||||||||||
| In spite of being an island located in the equatorial line, Galapagos climate is not as hot as other tropical places. The reason is that Galapagos is surrounded by low temperature water brought by the Humbold Current. On some islands of the archipelago temperature of water descends below 20° C (68° F).
There are two seasons in Galapagos. One, between July and December, is the dry one and receives the name of "Guarua". As it's spanish name suggests, during this season the highlands of the islands are coveres by fog and mist. The temperature during this season ranges between 20° C and 24° C. The other season starts in January and ends in June. This season is hot and wet, and it's the most advisable time to visit the archipelago, not only because of the warmer weather, but also because of the warmer and calmer sea. Temperatures from 26° C to 30° C can be found in this time of the year. The temperature conversor below can help you to transform between the two scales (celsius and farenheit). |
