First rains in Guayaquil

Without the presence of the classic crickets announcing the arrival of the rainy season in Guayaquil, it seems that it has already started, since it has been raining persistently from Sunday morning until dawn today, even in some sectors it was reported that it reached downpour force.

However, according to information from El Universo Newspaper, the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (INAMHI for its Spanish acronym), has predicted that tomorrow morning, January 1, 2013, there will be no rainfall, but the skies will be partly cloudy with  temperature of 31 degrees.
