Periodo migliore per visitare Lima

Lima has a weird, foggy desert climate. It's never hot like the beach suggests, and the 'summer' months are grey and drizzly. You get clear skies and warmth only from December through April.

✦ Go in January for sun and energy, or April for good weather without the crowds.

✅ Best months

December to March: sunny, warm, and the city feels alive. January is the peak of summer with the best beach weather, though crowds and prices are higher.

🔥 Peak season

January and February. Summer holidays and the Señor de los Milagros procession in October (though that's autumn) draw crowds. Hotel prices jump 30-50% and flights fill up.

💷 Shoulder (best value)

April and November. Still pleasant temperatures (around 22°C), far fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop 20-30% compared to peak summer.

🌙 Quietest & cheapest

June to September: the garúa (drizzle) season. Grey skies, cool temps (15-19°C), and persistent mist. Cheapest flights and hotels, but outdoor plans suffer.

🧳 What to pack

Always bring a lightweight fleece or windbreaker—even in summer the coastal breeze can be chilly, and winter will be damp and cool.
