The weather in Lima once again shows its characteristic variability in the first days of winter, so many people seek to know whether the hours of sunshine will prevail or if the sky will remain overcast. In response, the National Meteorology and Hydrology Service of Peru (Senamhi) released its updated forecast with the conditions expected for the capital.
Will the sun come out or will the gray sky continue?
According to the National Meteorology and Hydrology Service of Peru (Senamhi), East Lima will have a maximum temperature of 27°C and a minimum of 18ºC, with a cloudy to partly cloudy sky in the morning changing to a sky with scattered clouds during the day, with gusts of wind in the afternoon.
The forecast for West Lima will show a maximum temperature of 26°C and a minimum of 21°C. A cloudy to partly cloudy sky is expected in the morning, with a sky with scattered clouds during the day, and gusts of wind in the afternoon.
In coastal districts and areas near Callao, it is more likely to observe an environment with greater cloud cover, especially during the morning and night. These conditions are typical of Lima’s winter, when humidity and ocean cooling favor the formation of fog and low clouds. Additionally, specialists from Senamhi have indicated that this year winter could present more days alternating between clouds and sun due to the influence of a slightly warmer than usual sea.
Pleasant temperatures despite the advance of winter
Although winter will officially begin on June 21, temperatures in Lima still remain relatively moderate for this time of year. Climate records show that during June the capital usually experiences highs close to 21 °C or 22 °C, with cooler nights and high ambient humidity.
Senamhi recommends that the population dress in layers, especially during the early hours of the day and at night, when the thermal sensation can be lower due to humidity. Likewise, the chances of rain remain low, although light drizzles cannot be ruled out in some sectors near the coast.
