Here in Cuenca the weather is crazy! There is a saying about it: ”if it’s sunny in the morning, it surely will rain in the afternoon”.

And boy is that true! The sunnier it is in the morning, the rainier it will be in the afternoon.

Sometimes we will hear thunder and see lighting out of the corner of our eye. But then, when we go over to the window, one side is as bright as the nicest day of summer. And the other side is dark as night.

The weather changes make it very hard to plan a day at the park. You can’t just watch the news and see the forecast. There is no way to predict it. But something that we like to do is if we have plans with friends to go to the park and it doesn’t work out because it’s raining, we just go over to our house and play games. Why let a rainy day ruin the fun?

So that’s the forecast – thanks for reading!

But sometimes it works to go to the park. I hope that if you get to come to Cuenca, this will be your case.

Well, that’s just a weather update! I hope you liked it.

    Someday another option you can take is to go to the beach with your family. Atacames (actually north of Camarones) is where we go. It’s warm and sunny here (all day) when it’s cold and rainy in Quito.

    Take care.

    I’ve been to Atacames too, and the water is warm and enjoyable! Unlike in California(USA) were the water is too cold for me, so I can’t ever go in :(
