The wet season in Guayaquil continues into March and April, with plenty of sunshine, high temperatures averaging 30°C and extremely high humidity. Late afternoon torrential rain is common and occurs most days, but it doesn’t tend to last long and brings some welcome relief to the stifling heat and humidity. The transition to the cooler dry season takes place in May, with a drop of a few degrees in average highs, very little rain and increasingly hazy, overcast days.

This is the cooler dry season in Guayaquil although, as ever, it is still hot and muggy with average highs of 28°C (there is very little rainfall in these months and so although humidity is lower, it’s still high by European standards). There is also very little sunshine as the cooler ocean temperatures continue to lead to almost permanently hazy, overcast skies
