Peru’s Senamhi Issues Coastal Yellow Alert for Increased Winds Nov. 11–13

Meteorologists attribute the event to a South Pacific anticyclone that is funneling stronger onshore flow and lifting dust over desert corridors.

Overview

  • The advisory is in effect through 23:59 on Thursday, Nov. 13, covering much of the Peruvian coast.
  • Forecasts call for peak gusts near 38 km/h in arid southern zones such as Ica, with lower values along central and northern coasts.
  • Coverage lists vary by outlet, with Lima and Callao included and reports differing between eight and nine affected regions.
  • Authorities warn of blowing dust and sand that can sharply reduce visibility, disrupting driving and outdoor activities on exposed routes.
  • Senamhi and COER Ica urge residents to secure light structures, reinforce windows and doors, avoid dusty areas, and drive with caution after earlier local gusts reached similar speeds on Nov. 9–10.
