to
know about is Ecuador
weather. A
great misunderstanding exists about Ecuador
climate, due to the fact that the equator runs right
through the middle
of the country. Most think that Ecuador is hot and
humid. While this can be the case in a some locations, there
are many more parts of Ecuador where the weather can be downright
chilly and of course, it gets cold in the mountains. Where Gary and Linda live, in Cotacachi, about an hour and a half north of Quito in the Andes mountains, there are many days where they leave the house with a jacket or sweater, because even if it is warm, the minute the sun goes under a cloud, the temperature drops. Santo domingo is a sub-tropical region along the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Although pineapples, papayas, and bananas flourish in this tropical climate, neither heat nor air conditioning is required because of the comfortable weather. However, few gringos live in this rapidly growing city. To get minute-by-minute details of weather activity, click on this Yahoo link. Another nice site is www.wunderground.com, which gives five-day forecasts for many cities in Ecuador, as well as some background  weather information. We hear often in Ecuador how the climate is changing. For example, August and September are supposed to be the dry season, but for two weeks during that period of time, the rains came back almost every day. A taxi driver said it best, “el clima esta loco!” Global warming may be the culprit and we all contribute to it by our use of carbon fuels. Does reading information on Ecuador make you want to be a more responsible global citizen? Check out this website, www.climatecare.org, for a really innovative way you can be a part of the solution through carbon offsetting. Offsetting means paying someone to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere on your behalf. In that way we can pay for the damage we are causing and the money helps to fund transition to a lower-carbon world.
