Senamhi Issues Orange Alert for Strong Coastal Winds as Drizzle and Fog Persist

Senamhi ties the conditions to the South Pacific Anticyclone, which is channeling moist southerly winds.

Overview

  • The notice covers Lima and ten coastal regions—Áncash, Arequipa, Callao, Ica, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Moquegua, Piura, Tacna and Tumbes—through September 26–27.
  • Gusts around or above 35 km/h are expected, with risk of blowing dust and reduced horizontal visibility, especially near the shoreline.
  • Forecasts call for low clouds with drizzle, fog and neblina in the early hours, with coastal districts staying cooler through the weekend.
  • Lima temperatures are set to bottom out near 14–16 °C and reach roughly 18–21 °C by day, with a slight uptick and some sun in eastern zones on Sunday.
  • Specialists say the spring transition will keep humid, gray mornings active into October, with a gradual warming trend toward November.
