Everything you need to know about the weather in Perú

The presence of the Andes Mountains and its rugged geography make Perú a country with great climatic diversity.

Perú has 38 types of climates, according to the Climate Classification method of Warren Thornthwaite, as a result of the interaction between the different climatic factors that affect it and its geographical position in the tropics, to the Andes mountain range, which configures a complex physiography. Among the climates of greater extension we have arid and temperate on the coast, rainy and cold in the mountains, and very rainy and warm in the jungle.

There are three factors that basically determine the climate of Perú: the country’s situation in the intertropical zone, the altitudinal changes introduced by the Andes mountain range and the Peruvian or Humboldt Current, whose waters run along the coasts of the country.

Climate by Regions

Climate on the coast

The Peruvian coast is in the form of an extensive desert lying in the mountains. And it is precisely the presence of the Andes to the east, together with the cold Humboldt current that reaches its beaches, which gives the area that arid and dry characteristic, from the Sechura desert to the Nasca pampas and the desert of Atacama that is sporadically interrupted by valleys in which a dense layer of clouds covers the skies and light drizzles are frequent in winter.

Due to the humidity prevailing in these areas, there is a slight sensation of cold, although the temperature rarely falls below 12 ° C. During the summer, on the other hand, the sun shines brightly and the temperature frequently reaches 30 ° C.

The central region and the southern region of the Peruvian coast have two well-marked seasons: one winter, between April and October; and a summer one, between November and March. The maximum monthly temperatures usually occur in February, between 24 and 33 ° C; the minimum between 15 and 18 ° C, in July. Rainfall varies from 132 millimeters per year to almost nothing.

The northern region of the coast, for its part, does not suffer from the effect of cold waters, which translates into almost 300 days of sunshine and warm temperatures throughout the year (up to 35 ° C in the summer). The rainy season occurs between November and March and rainfall in the summer, without the presence of the El Niño phenomenon, is less than 100 millimeters.

We recommend you care at night in winter since it is colder and warm clothes are necessary.

Climate in the Andes

Mountainous area dominated by the Andes Mountains. It reaches 6,768 m.s.n.m. at the summit of Huascarán.

In the highlands of Peru there are two well-defined climatic seasons: one of summer, between April and October, characterized by sunny days, very cold nights and no rain (the ideal time to visit it); and a rainy one, between November and March, in which rainfall is abundant (generally over 1,000 mm). Some general characteristics of Andean climates are atmospheric dryness, insolation, which decreases in summer, and the differences in temperature between sun and shade, night and day, morning and afternoon.

The Altitudinal floors in the Andes:

Warm floor: (1,000 to 2,000 masl)

On this floor the differences between the western and eastern slopes are very large. On the western slope, the aridity is general from La Libertad to Tacna. On the eastern slope there is a period with abundant rainfall in summer. Humidity is high and is favored by Amazonian tropical air masses.

Temperate floor: (2,000 to 3,500 masl)

The average temperature is 10 to 16 ° C, but the maximums oscillate at 29 ° C due to the greater exposure to the Sun in some places, and the minimum between 7 and 4.4 ° C below zero, from June to August. The average temperatures that typify this climate are the result of the variations in temperature between day and night produced throughout the year.

Cold temperate floor: (3,500 to 4,000 masl)

It is located, both on the western and eastern slopes, in the upper limits of the punas. Its average temperature is between 7 and 10 ° C, while the maximums oscillate between 19 and 22.5 ° C.

The city of Puno, due to the influence of Titicaca, has an average temperature of 8.4 ° C with maximums of 16.4 ° C, minimums of -1.3 ° C, and a temperature range of 18 ° C. Juliaca, at the same altitude but without the influence of Titicaca, has an annual mean temperature of 7.1 ° C, with an absolute maximum temperature of 2.5 ° C and an absolute minimum of -16.8 ° C. Its annual temperature range, 38.3 ° C, is the maximum on this floor.

Cold floor: (4,000 to 5,000 masl)

The climate is cold, with high atmospheric dryness and thermal variations. The average annual temperature is above 3 ° C and below 6 ° C.

These figures do not reveal the abysmal differences in temperature sometimes in a single day. At an altitude of 4,887 meters, drops of 11 ° C have been observed only five minutes after the clouds hid the Sun.

However, daytime temperatures are always positive and sunshine is high. But at night the temperatures drop to 0 ° C, causing freezing in marshes and streams, which at dawn thaw

Very Cold Floor: (5,000 to 6,746 masl)

Their temperatures can be compared with those that characterize the peripheral polar zones.

It is a cold or polar climate in a tropical zone, although glaciers are extrazonal phenomena, not typified in tropical zones.

Although ice and snow persist, the area receives heatstroke all year round.

We invited you to visit this area for the optimal conditions that allow a pleasant adventure.

Climate in the Jungle

Tropical vegetation zone of the Amazon River basin, where the largest nature reserves are located.

The extensive Peruvian jungle, crossed by the mighty Amazon River, can be divided into two very different areas: the high jungle or mountain browbone (over 700 meters above sea level) which has a subtropical and temperate climate, with abundant rainfall (around 3,000 mm per year) between November and March and sunny days between April and October; and the low jungle (below 700 meters above sea level) whose summer occurs between the months of April and October and is an ideal time for tourism, with sunny days and high temperatures, often above 35 ° C.

Between the months of April and October the rivers decrease their flow and the roads are easily passable. The rainy season, on the other hand, between November and March, is characterized by frequent downpours (at least one a day) that can cause damage to land access roads. Humidity in the jungle is very high throughout the year.

In the southern region there are occasional «friajes» or «surazos», strong colds from the extreme south of the continent that occur between the months of May and August and in which the temperature usually drops to 8-12 ° C.

We recommend you visit the Peruvian jungle since the climate is hot and humid relatively constant throughout the year. The normal high temperature in the day is 31 ° C, the lowest at night is 17 ° C and the humidity can range between 80 to 90%.
