The climate of the coast ranges from warm-semiarid north of 5°S (thus, very
close to the equator) to a climate which is a bit like the Mediterranean (Köppen
Csb) climate with an important difference. The winter, although cloudy, cool and
very humid, does not have sufficient rainfall to be considered a Köppen C
climate.
The coast is chiefly determined by the influence of the cold Humboldt Current,
which runs The northern coast's (3°S–6°S) temperature extremes range from 14 to
38 °C (57.2 to 100.4 °F). Summers are characterized by hot, humid and sunny
conditions, with occasional afternoon and nocturnal rainshowers. The farther
north, the less arid, due to the Humboldt Current getting less cold as it nears
the Equator. Thus, the Tumbes Region, bordering Ecuador, is the only coastal one
with regular seasonal precipitation.
Summer rainfall totals rarely exceed 200 mm (7.9 in), save for severe El Niño
events, which can provoke major floodings, with precipitations which can be as
high as 4,000 mm (157.5 in), especially in the readings observed over the entire
Peruvian coast; the aforementioned Tumbes region and Piura are the hottest.
Winter is characterized by warm yet comfortable conditions and absence of rain.
Puerto Maldonado is in the tropical
Amazon Basin. The climate is hot and
humid at all times. The average annual temperature is 26 °C (79 °F) with the
months of August and September being the hottest. Annual rainfall exceeds 1,000 millimetres (3.3 ft). The wet season is from October to April. The main part of
the town is located on a slightly elevated area that does not normally flood in
the wet season. Road travel often becomes impossible during this time. A low
season occurs between June and August.
A common phenomenon known locally as a "surazo" or "friaje" occurs when polar
winds blow in from the mountainous south. The temperature will drop to as low as
8 °C (46 °F) for several days.
