Temperatures in Ecuador are relatively stable year round, and major variations in climate are largely down to rainfall and altitude. For the coastal lowlands, December to April has the most reliable quantities of sunshine, but will also be showery. The same months bring the driest period to the Amazon, although it will be humid here. The Andean uplands and the Sierra are driest from June to September. In general, Ecuador has a warm climate, so it is a year-round destination. If your plans are flexible enough, there is usually somewhere sunny at any given time.
