Overview
- Senamhi confirmed that on January 14 the Von Humboldt station in La Molina reached 31.8 °C, the highest daytime reading of Lima’s 2026 summer so far.
- Eastern and northern districts experienced the most intense heat, with residents reporting a strong feeling of mugginess.
- The next morning brought light but persistent rain in several Lima districts, a shift linked by Senamhi to typical summer patterns and humidity moving in from the sierra.
- Senamhi maintains a yellow alert for rains on the north coast and the sierra, forecasting 1–8 mm in Lambayeque, La Libertad and Áncash and 15–25 mm in parts of Cajamarca, Amazonas and Huánuco.
- Local authorities urged caution due to slippery roads and reduced visibility during the showers, and Senamhi is keeping active watch on conditions for a potential El Niño.
