Seasons : Lima and the Peruvian coast offer the four customary seasons. The summer from January to March; the fall from April to June; the winter from July to September; and Spring from October to December. But they are not well defined.
The weather conditions imposed by the Humboldt Current, are responsible for the existence of two seasons along the year, in practical terms. A wintertime lasting from May to November and a summer season from December to March. They sustain average temperatures ranging between 18° and 22° Celsius, though there are winters in which the thermometer falls down to 12° or 15° C, and summers in which they reach highs of 28° and 30° C.
Rains in Lima are non existent. During the months from June to August its streets dampen a drizzle extremely fine and thin, called garúa in Spanish. Besides, the presence of clouds and mists which moisturise the hills close to the Pacific Ocean, is usual during the winter.
The drizzle, however, is only present in a 50 kilometre long radius around Lima. In the rest of the coast the weather is of a rather desert type. It never rains and it is hot all year round.
