Guayaquil's Climate
Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city, set on the Guayas River near the Pacific coast in the lowlands just south of the equator. It has a tropical savanna climate, hot and humid year-round with two clear seasons. The rainy hot season, or invierno, runs from January to April, bringing sultry heat, very high humidity and heavy downpours, with highs typically 30–33°C, while the cooler dry season, verano, lasts from June to November with little rain, cloudier skies and milder temperatures around 26–30°C thanks to the cold Humboldt current. Temperatures stay fairly steady overall, so seasons differ mainly in rainfall and humidity.
