October is a spring month in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the eastern part of Ecuador, occupied by the Amazon rainforest (see Nuevo Rocafuerte), this month too is
hot, muggy and rainy.
In the northern part of the coast (see Esmeraldas, Atacames), October is a hot month, and the rains are still quite rare. However, in the far north (see Valdez, San Lorenzo de Esmeraldas), where the climate is equatorial, it also rains in this period.
Instead, in the central-southern part of the coast (see Manta, Salinas, Playas), the temperatures are a little lower and the rains are very rare or completely absent, under the influence of the cool Humboldt current. However, due to this current, the sky is often cloudy.
In the
Andes (see Quito, Cuenca), where the temperature decreases with altitude, the rains in October and November experience a secondary peak, though lower than the main one of March and April.
The
sea is warm enough for swimming in the center-north, while in the south it is a bit cool, around 22 °C (71.5 °F).
