Rain days are the days with at least 2 mm of rain.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in SE as well as at Lima, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in November.

The year in Lima

Lima has a mild and humid climate with little rain year-round. Practical advice includes dressing in layers due to cooler temperatures, especially in the evenings.

Busiest
early Jan to late Mar — This is the summer season in Lima, attracting many tourists due to warm temperatures and lower rainfall.
Quieter, still good
early Apr to late Jun — This period has mild temperatures and very low rainfall, making it a good time for travelers looking for fewer crowds.
early Oct to late Dec — As temperatures begin to rise and rainfall remains low, this is a pleasant period for visits with fewer tourists.

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
