Weather in EcuadorIn fact, it's not uncommon to experience all four seasons in a single day. Generally speaking, Ecuador has two seasons, wet and dry but in a country as geographically diverse as Ecuador, local weather patterns vary greatly. The mainland coastal areas and the Galapagos Islands are influenced by ocean currents and are hot and sunny between December and May and cool and dryer the rest of the year. Sometimes even the mountains' wet season isn't particularly wet and the dry season sees its share of downpours. The weather in the provinces of the central valley like for example: Imbabura, Tungurahua, Cotopaxi, Pichincha, Azuay and Loja are generally spring like year round with mild temperatures around 24°C (66°F). The least rainy period tends to be January to May. June, July, and August are the wettest (still considered a prime time to visit the Amazon because of increased animal activity) and September through December are completely unpredictable!
