The Galapagos Islands have a
subtropical climate regulated by the cold Humboldt current and the
warm El Nino current. The islands are located at this
intersection of these currents which result in the weather changing
its intensity during the year as the currents' driving trade winds
blow and weaken in a cycle that gives two distinct islands and
control the pattern and variety of Galapagos plant and animal life.
The weather varies during the year. From December
until May temperatures range from low to upper 80's
(with possibilities of rain). From June to September temperatures
vary from low 60's
to high 70''s.
This is the Garua season (mist in the mornings). From October until
December temperatures range from 70's
to 80's
(dry season).
