Climate and place
Arid coastal desert climate cooled well below typical desert temperatures by the cold Humboldt Current offshore; mild year-round with persistent overcast/fog (garua) in the austral winter and almost no rainfall.
- Classification
- BWh (hot desert (coastal, fog-moderated))
- Temperature
- Average annual temperature about 18.7 C; hottest month (February) averages around 23.0 C, coolest month (August) around 15.3 C; rarely below 12 C or above 30 C.
- Wettest months
- August
- Driest months
- April, November
- Notable risk
- Not storm or heat risk: persistent morning drizzle/fog (garua) June-September, very low rainfall stressing water supply, and climate severely disrupted during El Nino events (coastal waters can warm from a normal 17-19 C to over 26 C).

- Activity evidence
- Lima Metro Line 2 (Peru's first fully underground metro, 27 km of tunnels) reached full tunnel-excavation completion in July 2026 and roughly 80% overall physical completion as of March 2026, with the concessionaire projecting over USD 506 million in 2026 investment; the line is not yet operational, so this is completing rather than completed infrastructure.

- Boom evidence
- Lima's tracked startup ecosystem grew 30.1% in 2025 per StartupBlink, with Lima-based venture-capital investment projected at roughly USD 250 million for 2026, increasingly concentrated in fintech, enterprise software, applied AI, agritech, and logistics/supply-chain technology, drawing regional investors from Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and beyond.

Interpretive reading of independently observable infrastructure and investment signals; not a score, not investment or relocation advice; dated and subject to revision. Another disambiguation case in the same spirit as Bogota's: genuine funding/ecosystem-growth momentum paired with a still-completing (not yet operational) flagship infrastructure project, read together rather than smoothed into a single strong reading. checked 2026-07-21.
