Trujillo Weather, When to Go and Climate Information

(Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru)

Located on the Desert Coast of Peru, the climate of Trujillo is rather like an endless summer, with fine summer weather and blue skies. Whenever you come to Trujillo, you really don't need to worry too much about the climate, since temperatures remain fairly moderate throughout the year, and heavy rainfall is virtually non-existent.

Rainy weather tends to fall only between January and April, the summer months, and averages no more than 30 mm / 1.2 inches in February and March at most, and considerably less in January and April. From May to December, Trujillo remains constantly dry and pleasantly warm, although on the hottest days it can feel a little sticky.

Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

During the summer months, Peruvians and tourists' alike head to the beaches around Trujillo, which are at their very best at this time of the year, since the country's infamous coastal 'garua' mist lifts and sunny weather is at its most plentiful.

The garua mist is the direct result of the cool Humboldt current, which arrives from the South Pacific and causes any moisture to condense. Trujillo's summer climate is greatly influenced by the arrival of a warmer central Pacific current, which eliminates the mist and forces back the Humboldt current, making sunbathing on the beaches and swimming in the warm waters all the more inviting. Outside of the summer, warm temperatures make sightseeing an enjoyable experience.
