What's the climate like in Quito?

Quito is close to the equator and located in the basin. The climate is not hot, and sometimes it is even a little cold. This is because its altitude is as high as 28 19 meters. The four seasons here are like spring, and the average monthly temperature is around 13 degrees Celsius, which is one of the cities with the lowest annual temperature difference (0.8 degrees Celsius) in the world. However, the weather changes greatly day and night. During the day, the sun shines directly and the light is strong, and the temperature can rise to about 25 degrees Celsius. At noon, there are often sudden dark clouds, heavy rain and sometimes hail. At night, the temperature plummeted, and even a low temperature close to 0 degrees Celsius appeared. Therefore, it is necessary to install a fireplace in the house to keep warm. Quito is the economic, cultural and transportation center of Ecuador, with a population of about 880,000, making it the second largest city in the country after Guayaquil, a seaport commercial city.
