According to the National Risk Management Service in Ecuador, 6 months of torrential rain throughout the country has left a total of 57 dead and 110 injured.

In February, the biggest flooding to hit Ecuador in two decades killed at least 24 people in Quito, submerging homes, swamping vehicles, and carrying away athletes and viewers on a sports field.

Furthermore, the rain harmed approximately 31,000 people, causing flooding, landslides, and damage to thousands of homes and hectares of agriculture.

In April, the rainy season reached its seventh month and is projected to increase. According to a relief agency report, thirty persons perished and 87 were injured as a result of the rains in the Andean region of Pichincha alone.

All of Ecuador's 24 provinces have been affected, with only the Galapagos archipelago exempted. 

It is reported that extraordinarily heavy and protracted downpours had damaged or destroyed more than 5,455 hectares (13,500 acres) of agriculture, as well as 7,176 residences, schools, and health facilities.

Ecuador has just two seasons, summer and winter, due to its position in the tropical zone.

The current rainy season has resulted in landslides, floods, and river overflows, as well as the collapse of infrastructure.

Global warming, according to scientists, is increasing the danger of heavy rain throughout the world because a warmer atmosphere contains more water.
