Although the islands are located on the equator, the temperature of the ocean surface is not constant, between 7 and 28 degrees throughout the year. Its time is determined by the temperature of the ocean currents, which creates microclimates that modify the particular environments of each island. The islands in the same way face drastic changes of temperature and almost every season maintains certain peculiarities. The period of time that goes from January to March are the months with more temperature and humidity, being March the warmest month of the year. During this season there are lots of plants, and the water temperature is ideal for marine sports. In the period from July to September we observe less rain and the islands are less humid, but cooler, the sea temperature is greatly reduced, being the ideal season to see the marine fauna, because the animals prefer frozen waters.
