Seasons/Precipitation
There are only two main seasons in the Galapagos. There is the wet season and the dry season. The seasons are effected by the different ocean currents.
The wet season or hot season lasts from December to May. During this season there is a lot of plenty of sunshine, the temperature rises, and there is abundant rain fall. The waters surface is heated and when it hits the older colder currents, convection occurs and make precipitation.
The dry season is also called garua. This season lasts from June to November. The moisture evaporates into the air in the inversion layer (300 to 600 meters above sea level) making the higher parts of the islands the only part that gets rain.

Temperature Ranges
In the wet season, the temperature ranges from the low to upper 80's. In the dry season, the temperature ranges from the low 60's to the high 70's. Remember though, the wet season has lots of rain and the dry season does not.
