Select units of measurement for the temperature and rainfall tables (metric or imperial).
February in Ecuador is a
hot, muggy and rainy month in the northern part of the coast (see Valdez, Esmeraldas, Atacames), in the inland areas west of the Andes (see Guayaquil), and in the Amazon forest to the east (see Nuevo Rocafuerte). The rains are particularly abundant in the foothills of the Andes, both in the west (see Santo Domingo de los Colorados) and in the east (see Puyo).
Instead, in the central-southern part of the coast (see Manta, Salinas, Playas), the rains are quite rare, due to the Humboldt current. However, we are in the rainiest time of the year (as well as the hottest), and in particular, the rains can increase during El Niño years. Furthermore, the sky is often cloudy here as well.
In the
Andes (see Quito, Cuenca), where the temperature decreases with altitude, the rains are moderate, quite frequent but not abundant.
The
temperatures in Ecuador vary little throughout the year, in this month, however, the warmest and wettest period begins, which runs from February to April.
The
sea is warm enough to swim in anywhere, and this is the month when the sea is warmest in the center and south.
