Severe weather

Ecuador
On 1 November 2026, media reported 39,270 people affected and 9,690 severely affected nationwide by heavy rainfall and flooding. The reports also described flooding in Santa Cruz, Galápagos, on 30–31 October, with 3,120 people affected, damage to houses, roads and electricity infrastructure, and evacuations.
