WEATHER
The climate of the coast ranges from warm semi-arid north of 5°S (thus, very close to the equator) to a climate which is a bit like the Mediterranean climate with an important difference. The winter, although cloudy, cool and very humid, does not have sufficient rainfall to be considered a Mediterranean climate.
The coastal temp is chiefly determined by the influence of the cold Humboldt Current, which runs the Northern coast's (3°S–6°S) temperature extremes range from 14 to 38 °C (57.2 to 100.4 °F). Summers are characterized by hot, humid and sunny conditions, with occasional afternoon and night time rainshowers. The farther north, the less arid, due to the Humboldt Current getting less cold as it nears the Equator. Thus, the Tumbes Region, bordering Ecuador, is the only coastal region with regular seasonal precipitation.
Summer rainfall totals rarely exceed 200 mm (7.9 in), save for severe El Niño events, which can provoke major floodings, with precipitations which can be as high as 4,000 mm (157.5 in), especially in the readings observed over the entire Peruvian coast; the aforementioned Tumbes region and Piura are the hottest.
Winter is characterized by warm yet comfortable conditions and absence of rain.
