Lima, located in the central part of the Pacific coast, is in the tropical circle, but influenced by Humboldt cold current, the climate in Lima is like spring all year round; It is difficult to rain, and the climate is comfortable and cool, which is very pleasant.

In addition, there is a strong Peruvian cold current flowing along the mainland coast, and the coastal air contacts with the cold current water surface, and the lower layer cools, forming a stable inversion layer. Water vapor can only form fog, and it is difficult to transport condensation clouds upward to cause rainfall.
