Peru's Senamhi Warns of Fourth Cold Snap, Temperatures to Drop to 14°C in Some Regions

Peru's Amazon region is bracing for the fourth cold snap of the year, with the National Meteorology and Hydrology Service (Senamhi) forecasting a significant drop in temperatures between June 23 and June 27. This meteorological event is expected to bring adverse weather conditions across various parts of the jungle.

The cold air mass will initially impact southern areas, including Puno, Madre de Dios, and Cusco, before advancing towards the central and northern Amazon. Senamhi specialists predict increased cloudiness and notable atmospheric changes as the cold front moves through the region.

Accompanying the temperature decrease will be strong winds, potentially exceeding 50 kilometers per hour, and thunderstorms with intense electrical activity. Heavy rainfall is also anticipated, adding to the challenging weather conditions.

Nighttime temperatures in the southern Amazon could fall as low as 14°C, while the central Amazon may experience lows between 17°C and 19°C. In the northern Amazon, temperatures are expected to range from 18°C to 20°C. Daytime temperatures will also be lower than usual for this time of year, with highs near 19°C in the south, around 24°C in the central region, and close to 27°C in the north.

Senamhi stated it will continue to issue updated reports on the weather's evolution in the affected regions.
