Climate information is increasingly relevant to society. (Infobae/Jovani Pérez)
He type of climate that there is in a certain region is determined by different factors among which are altitude, latitude, orientation of the relief, distance to the sea and marine currents, giving guidelines to the so-called “weather” which in turn is supported by other elements such as temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation to describe the atmospheric conditions in a locality in a short term.
To catalog the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic focus on the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.
Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which some modification, however minimal, in the average annual temperature causes changes in the habitats and their conditions.

Up to 38 types of climate are felt in Peruvian territory.according to the National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology (Senamhi), this as a result of the interaction between different climatic and geographical factors.
These main factors, Senamhi details, are its geographical position in the Tropic of Capricorn and the proximity of the Andes Mountains.
Of the 38 climates, Senamhi highlights three main which are defined according to the area of the country in which they are located.
on the coast of the South American country, which faces the Pacific Ocean and covers only 11.6% of the national territory, the prevailing weather is arid and temperateits main climatic characteristic being the lack of rain.
