Peru

Climate

On the coast:
The northern part of the Peruvian coast does not suffer from the cold effects of the Humboldt current, which means the area benefits from warm temperatures throughout the year (up to 35°C in the summertime) and almost 300 days of sunshine per year. The rainy season takes place between November and March. The central and southern regions have two very distinct seasons: winter, from April to October, and summer, from November to March. Since these are very humid areas, winters often feel cold here, even though the temperature rarely drops below 12°C. In the summertime, the sunshine is intense, with temperatures often reaching 30°C.

In the Sierra:
There are two well-defined seasons in the mountains. Summer (from April to October) is characterized by very sunny days, very cold nights, and lack of rain. This is the best time to come visit. The rainy season (from November to March) brings abundant precipitation: generally, more than 1000mm of rain falls during this period. This region is characterized by strong temperature variations within the same day. It often happens that temperatures rise to 24°C at noon and then drop to 3°C when night falls.
In the Selva:
The Selva is divided into two distinct zones: the High Selva (altitude: more than 700 meters), and the Low Selva (altitude: under 700 meters). The High Selva has a subtropical temperate climate, receives abundant rain between November and March, and many sunny days between April and October. In the Low Selva, summer is characterized by sunny weather and high temperatures than can rise to more than 35°C, making it the ideal time for tourism. Between November and March, daily rainfall can make it difficult to travel between destinations.
Humidity levels are very high in the Selva throughout the year.
