WHEN
TO GO:
Though
the islands are located on the equator, the ocean's surface temperature
ranges greatly from 7 to 28 degrees centigrade. The islands also go
through dramatic changes.
January
to March is considered the hot/wet season, March being the hottest month
of the year. The islands are brimming with plant life, and the water
temperatures are ideal for snorkeling and diving at this time of year.
Because
of the climate changes in July through September, there’s less
rain and the islands are drier, though cooler. The water temperature
drops considerably, though this is the ideal time of year to see more
aquatic life, as the animals prefer the colder currents.
The principle regulator of the climate of the Galapagos is the temperature
of the ocean surface and ocean currents, creating microclimates on the
islands influencing the particular flora and fauna habitats found on
each island.
When choosing the time of year to visit the Galapagos, prioritize. Decide
what you would rather do and see, as not all animals are present at
all times of year. This depends greatly on the season and climate.
