Everyone assumes that as soon as you head south and pass the equator the weather is automatically tropical, this is not the case when it comes to winter in Lima. When I left Toronto it was a toasty 38C, when I got off the plane in Lima it was 15C, but cold. You are probably asking how can it be cold at 15C? Scientifically speaking it’s the humidity! At 79%, the humidity makes it feel damp and cold.
Imagine wearing two pairs of socks, a fleece tracksuit, and a toque, sitting under four Alpaca blankets, drinking some hot tea you would think that would surely warm any cold body…NO…my friends your wrong no matter how many warm things you wear it still feels like you are wearing a layer of wet clothes that never dry.
Welcome to winter in Lima where no matter how warm and loving the people are, the weather still chills you to the bone.
Lima's winter is from April to October.
Striking image that.
