Lima Peru Weather

Lima Peru weather is very mild, the atmosphere is very humid throughout the year. Lima has a subtropical and desert climate. Winter days are usually foggy and misty, the average temperatures during winter (April - December) range from 12 °C (54 °F) to 20 °C (68 °F).

During summertime (January - March), the daily maximum temperature averages around 29 °C (84 °F) with a daily minimum temperature around 19 °C (66 °F).

During 'El Niño' phenomenon (temperature fluctuations in surface waters of the tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean), the Lima weather gets severe changes. The water temperatures along the coast get much warmer, that causes the temperatures to rise by several degrees.

Humidity is very high, mainly in the mornings, however from January to April, days are sunnier and less humid. From May til October you can expect cloudy, humid, and mild days. Rainfall is very low and it has a big impact on water supply in the city, Garúa (rain extremely thin and fine) is the most you get.

All these weather changes arise from the combination of semi-permanent coastal upwelling and the presence of the cold Humboldt Current just offshore.
