How’s the weather in Lima?
The city of Lima, which attracts millions of visitors for its Inca culture, spectacular tourist attractions, and Peruvian cuisine, has an arid and semi-warm climate, with occasional humidity reaching up to 100%.
Unlike other regions experiencing clearly differentiated seasons, Lima has a milder temperature variation throughout the year. The average annual maximum temperature is 28°C in summer (December to March) and the minimum is 17°C in winter (June to November), with rainfall rarely occurring throughout the year.
However, the city is subject to the climatic phenomenon of El Niño, which generates abnormal warming of the Pacific Ocean waters, resulting in a warmer and more humid climate, with a higher probability of intense rains and thunderstorms.
The moderate temperatures, low precipitation, and influence of climatic phenomena like El Niño make Lima's climate fascinating and worth exploring. The ideal time to visit Lima depends on your personal preferences and what you hope to experience. However, the summer months, from December to March, are ideal as temperatures are warmer and there is less chance of rain.

What to eat in Lima?
Lima's cuisine has rightfully earned its place as one of the best gastronomic capitals in the world. This destination attracts food enthusiasts, and its African, indigenous, and Chinese influences make the following traditional Peruvian meals and gastronomic experiences mandatory to try in Lima.
Its cuisine captivates palates with an extensive menu of dishes, in which fish is one of the stars and ceviche, a national pride. Tiradito, a version of ceviche without onions, and parihuela, a fish and seafood broth, are typical seafood dishes.
The famous anticuchos, skewers of beef heart fried on charcoal grills, are another must-try delight. Chaufa rice, cooked and fried in soy sauce with small pieces of chicken, pork, egg, and green onion, reflects the Chinese influence on Peruvian gastronomy.
On the sweet side, Suspiro a la Limeña and Picarones represent the desserts that accompany the meal. For refreshment, the purple corn drink, known as Chicha Morada, the Pisco Sour, a signature cocktail, is one of the typical beverages, and Inca Kola, a yellow-colored soda, are traditional to Lima.
