Yearly weather

Calculations are based on the last 8 years of historical weather data.

Weather Score #

Heat Seeker Score is a composite score designed for those who crave hot, sunny weather with minimal rainfall. It prioritizes high temperatures and abundant sunshine.

Perfect for sun worshippers, beach lovers, and those seeking warm, dry climates for outdoor activities and relaxation.

Formula optimized for hot weather enthusiasts who prefer temperatures above 25°C (77°F) with maximum sun exposure and minimal precipitation.

Key factors in the calculation:

High temperatures: Favors locations with warm to hot daily highs
Abundant sunshine: Rewards areas with maximum daylight hours
Low precipitation: Penalizes frequent rain and wet conditions
Warm nights: Considers comfortable evening temperatures

Temperatures #

Guayaquil and Eloy Alfaro share identical temperature ranges, experiencing discomfort with temperatures exceeding 30°C for much of the year
Quito and Cuenca have significantly cooler temperatures, consistently below the comfort zone and sometimes dropping to uncomfortable lows, particularly in July
The Galapagos Islands maintain the most stable temperatures, staying within the comfort zone throughout the year
Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Manta and Machala have temperatures mostly within the comfort zone.

Conditions #

In the comparative analysis of sun hours and precipitation across the cities, Cuenca and Eloy Alfaro exhibit the least sunshine overall, particularly in the months of January to June, where sun hours are frequently below 1 hour.
Conversely, the Galapagos Islands stand out with significantly higher sun hours, especially during April to August, achieving peaks of over 6 hours per day, and consistently low precipitation levels throughout the year.
Additionally, Santo Domingo de los Colorados demonstrates very high precipitation levels with near-zero sunlight, indicating a distinct wet climate, contrasting sharply with the sunnier conditions found in Guayaquil and Machala.
Overall, a trend is evident where coastal cities like Galapagos and Manta can expect both greater sunshine and lower rainfall, while cities in the Andes, such as Cuenca and Quito, have more variability in sunlight but also higher precipitation rates.
