The appearance of the sun has been surprising Peruvians in various parts of our country these days. However, the intense cold continues to be felt, especially in the early hours of the morning and at night. And, unfortunately, the National Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Peru (Senamhi) confirmed that Lima will continue to experience this weather and will also experience drizzle until November. Below, we tell you much more.
The real reason why there will be intense cold and drizzle in Lima until November, according to Senamhi
This situation will occur because the Peruvian sea presents negative anomalies and causes values below 13 degrees. “If the normal for Lima at night is to have 13 or 14 degrees, the probability that temperatures will be below this range basically implies one degree or half a degree below this value,” indicated a Senamhi expert to América Noticias.
“Basically the coastal districts, because the night temperature is strongly modulated by the sea temperature. The sea temperature, as already mentioned in official statements, is still presenting negative anomalies. That is, it is colder than usual,” added the specialist.

What is Senamhi’s forecast for the end of winter 2024 in Peru?
According to Senamhi, winter in Lima, characterized by low temperatures in the mornings and nights, will end on September 22 with the arrival of spring. However, the sensation of cold is expected to continue affecting the population until mid-August, with temperatures of 10 to 12 °C on the coasts and somewhat higher in other places. A gradual increase in temperature is expected from the second half of August, which anticipates warmer days in preparation for the transition to spring.
What else did Senamhi say about the end of winter 2024?
Due to the anomalous sea conditions, which have increased winds and the feeling of cold, Senamhi has reported that the winter of 2024 will be colder than in previous years. Coastal locations in Lima have been the most affected, where temperatures have reached their lowest levels, such as in La Molina, where a minimum daytime temperature of 14.9 °C was recorded on August 7. Although there may be some sunny days in August, the recommendation is that residents follow Senamhi’s instructions and continue to dress appropriately to avoid health problems related to cold weather.
