A dozen types of climate are reported in the department of Limadetermined by its proximity to the sea to the west and altitude to the east, regularly presented an arid and temperate weather condition, as well as zero humidity throughout the year.
Of all the weather conditions, the predominant one that covers around 50% of the territory of said department is the arid with little humidity.
This weather condition is peculiar given the geographical conditions of the city, since it is located in a tropical area and practically at sea level. The key to understanding the type of climate in Lima comes from the proximity to the Andes Mountains, as well as the cold Peruvian Current or Humboldt Current, coming from the south.
The climate extends from the province of Cañete in the south and to the province of Barranca in the north, passing through the capital city of Peru, practically a desert, where rain falls very little and only between the months of July and September.
In the midst of this arid climate, the “lomas” ecosystems are formed in the provinces of Cañete, Lima, Huaral and Huaura, developed by the influence of winter fogs and drizzlescreating a cool and humid environment in the middle of the desert.
In the areas furthest from the coast and with it a greater height, the weather changes from arid to semi-arid and further east appear the cold and even rain somewhat more constant in summer.

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.
In the sawthe area near the Andes Mountains and which occupies 28.1% of the Peruvian territory, the climate is rainy and cold mainly.
While in the junglewhere the tropical climate of Peru is most observed, occupying 60.3% of its surface, the weather is defined as very rainy and hot.
