Lima’s Unique Climate
Lima’s weather is mostly arid and temperate, thanks to its geographical positioning near the Andes and the cold Humboldt Current. The region experiences minimal rainfall, predominantly between July and September.
The diverse microclimates in the area include deserts, and the unique “lomas” ecosystems, particularly in provinces such as Cañete, Lima, Huaral, and Huaura. These ecosystems thrive due to winter mists and drizzles, offering a cool, humid environment in an otherwise dry landscape.
Climate Variations Across Peru
Peru experiences 38 different climate types influenced by geographical factors like the Tropic of Capricorn and the Andes Mountains. Senamhi identifies three primary climate zones:
- Coastal Climate: Arid and temperate, covering 11.6% of national territory. Rain is scarce.
- Mountain Climate: Rainy and cold, occupying 28.1% of the country.
- Jungle Climate: Very rainy and warm, predominant in 60.3% of the nation’s expanse.
The Pacific coast’s arid regions, juxtaposed against the Andes’ rainy heights and the jungle’s tropical warmth, highlight Peru’s climatic diversity.
