Luis is ten km east of Quito, only one thousand feet (300 meters)
south of the equator at an elevation of 7800 feet.
In Quito they refer to their dry season (Jun-Sep) as summer and their
wet season (Oct-May) as winter. Most days are in the upper 60s and
most nights are in the upper 40s. Temperatures rarely exceeding 90
and are only very rarely below freezing.

HC1PF is, according to QRZ, a whopping 10' (yeah, minutes, not degrees)
south of the equator. Summer/winter is pretty much meaningless that
close to the equator...
