Peru

Climate in Peru

Peru's climate is remarkably diverse, shaped by its geography and the influence of the Humboldt Current. Along the coast, especially in Lima, the desert-like conditions result in little rainfall, though heavy sea mists are common from April to November. The northern coast becomes less arid and experiences warmer, sunnier summers with occasional showers. In the Andes, the dry season from May to October offers clear days and chilly nights, making it the most popular time to visit. The wet season, running from November to March, brings more rain, especially in January and February, but also fewer crowds and lush scenery. Meanwhile, the Amazon rainforest remains hot and humid year-round, with heavier rains between November and March. Still, its vibrant flora and fauna make it rewarding to visit at any time. Travellers will find that each region has its own rhythm, offering unique experiences throughout the year.
