The department is Piura It is characterized by an impressive climate variety that covers up to eleven types of climate, although those with a dry and warm nature prevail, especially on the coast.
Because it is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and on the border with Ecuador, Piura has a mostly dry climate in the areas closest to the ocean. Among the provinces of Talara, Sullana, Paita, Sechura and Piurathe dry climate prevails on almost the entire coast, where vegetation is scarce and the environment maintains a certain dryness.
As one goes deeper into the region and away from the coast, the altitude and microclimates begin to influence, landscape and climate change.
In the eastern region of Piuraclimatic conditions vary from semi-arid to semi-arid and, even in higher altitude areas, are predominantly very wet environments. This change is particular in mountainous or valley areas, where there are more pronounced changes in rainfall and temperature patterns.
Piura is not the only region in Peru that experiences a wide variety of climates. According to the National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology (Senamhi)the country is home to 38 different types of climate, due to the interaction between geographical factors and special geology.
Among these factors, Peru’s position in the Tropic of Capricorn and the decisive influence of the Andes Mountains, a natural barrier that creates different climatic conditions in each of its three great regions: coast, mountains and jungle.
In the coastan area that covers 11.6% of the Peruvian territory and crosses the Pacific Oceanthe climate is mostly dry and temperate, characterized by a low frequency of precipitation. This is the climate that governs coastal cities, such as Piura and Lima, in which the skies are usually clear or light, with little rain that sets the tone for an environment dry most of the year.
In the sierra, The geographical strip that runs parallel to the mountain range and represents 28.1% of the land, the climate changes, leaning towards wet and cold conditions in majority. This region experiences more frequent rainfall and lower temperatures, especially during rainy seasons. The influence of the Andes creates a special microclimate, with strong winds and thermal changes in different parts of the mountains.
Finally, the Peruvian junglewhich covers 60.3% of the country, presenting climatic conditions very different from those of the coast and the mountains. This tropical region, with lush vegetation and large areas of biodiversity, is characterized by a warm and wet climate. The jungle is home to the wettest climate in the country, with rainfall that can occur at any time of the year, feeding rivers, streams and a variety of flora.
Each of these regions represents a piece of the climate mosaic Perua country where geography and climate come together in a symphony of contrasts and nuances.
