What this means for Cotopaxi

Compared,天氣為normal

Today is slightly cooler than average for 十月. The forecast high of -6°C is 1.5°C below the -4°C typical for this month.

雨 chance explained

A 99% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives.

旅遊 and driving

能見度 is down至0,2 km - use low beams and leave extra following distance. 陣風至62 km/h will push high-sided vehicles on exposed roads and bridges. Overnight lows near -10°C mean ice is possible on bridges before dawn. Wet roads are likely; braking distances roughly double in heavy rain.

Worth knowing

At 5.897 m, air here runs roughly 38°C cooler than the same latitude at sea level.

Worth knowing

Within 15 degrees of the equator, day length barely changes all year; seasons are defined by rain, not temperature.

Worth knowing

Southern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in 十二月至二月.

What至pack, what至skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
  • Insulated outer layer, hat and boots,天氣為grip for ice
  • A packable rain shell - 7 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid high-elevation trails without traction devices - frozen surfaces persist in shade all day.
  • Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 62 km/h.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid 一月, 二月 and 三月 - historically the least comfortable months here.
