=Galapagos Climate=

The Galapagos Islands are cool, or should I say warm! The weather is always perfect for sailing. The Galapagos Islands are located off the west coast of Ecuador, in the Pacific Ocean. The reason why Galapagos is always so warm is because it’s near the equator. In case you don’t know what the equator is, it’s the center of the earth and it’s extremely hot there. Sometimes Galapagos can be very humid. They also get tropical monsoons! In the times in Illinois that it’s winter, it’s actually summer in Galapagos, and vise versa! Parts of Galapagos are tropical rainforests; and parts are even tropical grasslands! Galapagos is a hot island, but it is so cool there!
