In the Galapagos there are essentially two seasons, the rainy season and the garua season. Not fluent in Spanish and wondering what the heck ‘garua’ means?
The cool Garua season is marked by cool waters brought by the Humboldt Current and the Cromwell Current bringing foggy overcast weather, known as garua, with temperatures ranging from 75°F during the day to 60 °F at night. It is typically from July to November.
The warm, rainy season lasting from December to June, on the other hand, is characterized by sunny periods mixed with sporadic rain showers, but who would have thought it is also known for being the dryer of the two seasons. During the ‘dry’ season, the ocean is warmer and air temperatures can reach the 90s during the day.
