What is the weather like in Galapagos?
Because of the islands proximity to the Equator, you can expect it to be warm for most of the year. There is a dry and a hot season, but any time of the year is good to go. – The Hot season is from December to May, and this is when it is warm, but rainy. Tropical showers are not too overwhelming, and a typical day may include a shower or two that will only last for an hour or so. There are times when for a whole week not a raindrop is experienced. The ocean is generally calm due to the absence of the south east trade winds. Average air temperature in December is 25.4°C ( 77°F ), while in May is 26.8°C ( 80°F ). – The dry season is from June – November, and this is considered the windy and dry season. Even though the term “cold” season is sometimes applied, this is not true for a destination that is geographically tropical. There’s hardly any rain, but the islands may seem somewhat moist as an early mist called “garua” covers the sky.
