The city of Lima is famous for its micro-climates with completely different conditions between the inner and outer districts. The weather information on this page is specifically for the commonly visited inner districts of Lima, between Miraflores and Santiago de Surco.

Due to the lack of support & funding, it was unfortunately impossible to continue the operation of our own weather station in Lima (August 2014).
The Weather and Climate in Lima
Lima's weather and climate isn't what one would expect when travelling to a city located just 12° south of the equator. It's usually described as mild and warm throughout the year without noteworthy rain making Lima one of the driest capitals in the world.
National Service for Meteorology and Hydrology
The Peruvian National Service for Meteorology and Hydrology publishes weather forecasts and weekly weather predictions for the different regions in Peru on their web page. Officially Senamhi was founded in 1969 as a decentralized public agency and since 1999 it is part of the Ministry of Environment (MINAM).
Comments
I'll me moving from Spain to Peru later this year and will be based in Lima but working with a project in Tingo Maria - part of which will incorporate a weather station.
Thanks
The radio frequencies for the police and emergency services (fire departments) in Peru are not publicly available and we won’t be able to publish them. Even if you somehow would get your “hands on” the radio frequencies it would not be very helpful as there is no central system. Every region/city has their own networks and there is no central system. There are even communication problems between the different emergency services.
To bring any transmitting devices (like 2-way radios, remote control systems…) into the country, you need to get previous approval by the MTC (Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones – Ministry of Transport & Communications). If you cannot supply a permit the equipment’s will be seized upon arrival by customs.
If there is no phone coverage in the area you are going, the best solution will be to bring a satellite phone with you!
