Peru’s National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (Senamhi) has predicted above-average temperatures for Lima during the upcoming winter season. This forecast is directly linked to the ongoing Coastal El Niño phenomenon. The warming of sea surface temperatures is the primary driver behind the anticipated temperature increase. Senamhi warns residents to prepare for unusually mild conditions typically associated with the winter months. While specific temperature projections weren’t detailed in the report, the agency emphasized the deviation from historical norms. This prediction has implications for water resource management and potential health concerns related to warmer weather. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will provide further updates as the winter season approaches.
