Lima’s coastal desert climate brings mild temperatures year-round and virtually no rain, but persistent fog from June to November. The live forecast above shows current conditions, and you can also view the lima weather 14 days trend for planning.
What makes Lima’s climate unusual?
Despite being near the equator, Lima stays cool thanks to the cold Humboldt Current. Summer (December–April) is sunny with highs around 26°C; winter (June–November) is overcast and damp with lows near 15°C. Annual rainfall is only 10–15mm, mostly as drizzle during foggy months.
How does Lima weather change by month?
Lima weather by month shows minimal temperature swings – the main variation is sunshine and fog. December and January offer the clearest skies, while June through August are the foggiest. For a longer view, the lima weather forecast 30 days from official sources helps with planning.

Is Lima always foggy?
No – the garúa fog dominates winter (June–November), but summer months from December to April are often sunny. The fog forms when the cool ocean meets warm desert air above the city.
Does Lima get very hot?
Rarely. The ocean keeps temperatures mild; the record high is about 33°C, but most summer days stay below 28°C. Extreme heat is very uncommon.
How does Cusco weather compare?
Cusco, high in the Andes, has a cool, dry climate with distinct wet and dry seasons – heavy rain from November to March. Unlike Lima, Cusco experiences large day–night temperature swings and clear skies outside the rainy period.
