Best Answer

The climate of the Galapagos Islands varies from season to season and year to year. From May to December, when the winds blow in a southeasterly direction, the shores of the southern islands are bathed in cool waters, chilling the air and creating unusually cold conditions for equatorial islands. The rainy season, which lasts from January to April, is marked by decreased winds and warmer sea currents. About every seven years, the Humboldt Current is interrupted by El Nino, which drives warm waters that are normally sent westward by wind and the Earth's rotation toward the shores of South America and the Galapagos Islands.
