Thanks for researching that. I didn't think about it much, knowing that I don't like equatorial humidity all that much, but knowing that a little bit of height (even 1500 feet, where I can still breath easily) makes a world of difference. And, to a considerable extent, the human body adapts to higher elevations, IN TIME, by increasing lung function).

I am finding I handle higher humidity better than I would have thought and better than higher temperatures. A window airconditioner at nighttime may be all I need to sleep comfortably. In the day time, near 100% humidity doesn't bother me unless the temperatures are also above 90F. Put differently, I seem to cope better with 86-88F daytime high humidity way better than 100F dry. Exercising at 86-88 does make we sweat a lot, though.

I expect to get a lot more practice, later this year, as I expect to spend most of the latter half of the year in tropical locations.

Climate in Ecuador

Ecuador climate: average weather, temperature, precipitation
The average temperature ranges from 26 °C (79 °F) in the Southern Hemisphere's summer (December-January) to 23 °C (73 °F) in winter (with July as the coolest month). Relative humidity is constantly high and makes the heat sweltering. In the central area of the country, along the eastern slopes of the Andes, we find the rainiest part of the country.

Climate in Ecuador: A Variety of Weather in One Country
The equator is less than 20 miles north of the city, yet at an altitude of 9,350 feet (2,900 meters), Quito's climate is spring-like year around: about 50 F at night and as high as 76 F during the day. The sun makes the difference.

Remember, Ecuador is a tropical type country. HOT most of the time. (Unless one enjoys air almost too thin to breathe . . .)

Zim.
