Galapagos Islands weather
|
|
|
The islands are isolated, so the climate is determined almost entirely by the ocean currents, which in turn are influenced by the trade winds which push the currents.

The Galapagos is a major intersection of several currents, which vary intensity during the year as their driving trade winds blow and then weaken in a cycle that gives two distinct islands.
These currents also control the pattern and variety of Galapagos plant and animal life. |
