What is the weather like in Ecuador?
When we asked people living in Ecuador about the weather in Ecuador, they said...
"With several years experience of living in Cuenca I have told folks in the states that its climate is spring like, year round. On hearing this they mentally edit to "nice and warm"....no, Spring here in New England has days of cold drizzle and rain sometimes as bad as late winter. Compared to mid-coast Maine in April and May, Cuenca's weather is mild. People have to stop imagining sweltering jungle just because Ecuador is on the equator. Cuenca is a half a mile higher than Denver ! The air is much thinner. Also, nobody in North America lives with so much solar input while being at 8500 feet. In each of the four seasons the sun is overhead in Cuenca. The combination is unique. The reduced mass of the air means much less storage of heat. When clouds block the sun the temp drops instantly. ," explained one expat living in Cuenca, Ecuador.
"Machala is the furthest south of the larger cities is cooler since it gets the Pacific sea breezes and the cooling winds from the nearby mountains, but remains a bit more partially overcast during the day compared to cities further north," said another in Machala, Ecuador.
