Unexpected Spring Drizzle Returns to Lima

Warmer coastal waters have increased isolated garúa and officials warn additional light drizzle is likely in the coming days.

Overview

  • SENAMHI confirmed late Thursday that renewed drizzle fell across many Lima districts after forecasts warned of increased lloviznas for Sept. 29–30.
  • Meteorologist Janet Huamán said the recent episodes were anticipated in SENAMHI advisories and that measured accumulations exceeded 2 millimeters in parts of southern Lima.
  • Local networks and ASISMET reported garúa in a wide range of districts, including Villa María del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, San Juan de Miraflores, Santiago de Surco, Ancón, Comas, Ventanilla and San Martín de Porres.
  • Residents raised alarms about water pooling and disruption on major roads and expressways even though total rainfall was small, with authorities urging vigilance for localized flooding on busy avenues.
  • The event reflects Lima’s transitional spring pattern where a warmer sea can boost coastal humidity and produce isolated drizzle that may continue sporadically until sea temperatures fall.
