Ecuador (north of Peru and on the equator) is one of the hardest hit countries due to immense quantities of rainfall. In the years 81 and 97, before the heavy rains of 82 and 98, we never had such a warm ocean as we had in April before the following year. Will 2024 be worse? pic.twitter.com/bT8jU2E8Hi
