Ambato, to my eternal shame, doesn't have a weather station with any major service. Its weather is normally reported internationally from the military airbase in Latacunga, some 50 km distant and in a completely different biome and elevation. Latacunga is cold, wet paramo.

I'm surprised you found the Rumipamba station - that's on the slopes of Chimborazo, another 1,000 feet or so above me, in cold wet paramo. The weather it reports is much closer to that of the town of Salinas de Bolivar than it is to that of Ambato.
