Thousands of citizens will be looking to enjoy the last day of the holiday to take a break, so they should take these forecasts into account before deciding how to say goodbye to the long weekend. In Lima, the Peruvian National Meteorology and Hydrology Service (Senamhi) predicted that the maximum temperature of the Sunday 17 April will be 26°C. Regarding the minimum temperature, it was noted that it would be 14°C and that there will be cloudy sky in the early hours of the morning varying from partial cloudy sky to sky with scattered clouds at sunset.
In West Lima, the maximum temperature would reach 22°C, while the minimum would be 17°C. Overcast skies are expected to be cloudy in the early hours of the morning, varying to partial cloudy sky at sunset.
“Since March 16, we have an increase in winds that affect the temperature and help to cool down. These winds have that cold feeling because they come from the mountains. Citizens must take their precautions: always wear a jacket or sweater, the arrival of autumn always brings fog, drizzle and rain, especially in June when we are on the verge of winter,” said Senamhi about the changes in climate behavior shortly after the start of the new season.
“The La Niña phenomenon is present in the Central Pacific Ocean, between the coasts of South America and Indonesia, but not entirely on the Peruvian coast. The characteristics of the climate we present do not always refer to 'La Niña'. At the moment, we are in neutral conditions,” said Tania Ita, a specialist in the Subdirectorate of Climate Prediction of Senamhi, about the gradual changes.
THE COLD WILL FOLLOW
More and more people are wearing clothes to keep warm from the cold. Given this, Senamhi has reported that night temperatures below normal will continue to occur until today, Sunday, April 17, on the coast of La Libertad to Tacna. The specialists of the institution emphasized that this is due to the low surface temperature of the sea along the coast of Peru, and a greater inflow of winds from the south. This will cause the cold to occur during the night, early morning and early morning. The regions of Ancash, Apurimac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco, Huancavelica, Huánuco, Ica, Junín, Lima, Moquegua, Pasco, Puno and Tacna will show temperature drops.
In recent days, Callao and Jesús María del Senamhi stations have recorded below-normal daytime temperatures in the aforementioned areas of the city. This has been happening during the fall season. The same phenomenon has been recorded in the areas of central Lima and this is forcing citizens to take the necessary measures. Even so, the institution recommends showing special interest to the negative effects of UV radiation and to prevent it with the necessary care.
