When making plans for galapagos family tours, it is important to take note of the weather conditions of the islands. Despite the fact that this tourist destination site is located along the equator, the Humboldt Current brings with it very cold water to the location, hence causing regular drizzles most time of the year. El Nino events are also common occurrences every 3 to 7 years, marked with warm surface temperatures that give way to rise in sea level. The temperatures mostly range between 22 and 25 degrees centigrade, sometimes with cold winds and sometimes with no wind at all. The warm season is between December and May when the sun shines for long hours while at the same time the area experiences strong rains but there are no winds. Weather changes are experienced with changes in the altitude. There is a lot to see and learn at the Galapagos Islands and a visit to the place will make you want to go back often.
