November in Peru is a spring month. In inland areas, we are by now in the hottest time of the year. On the coast, on the other hand, the temperature rises slowly and with a certain delay.
To the east, in the
Amazon forest (see Iquitos, Pucallpa, Puerto Maldonado), where it is hot all year round, October is a
hot and muggy month, and it is, albeit slightly, the hottest of the year together with October. The rains increase and are frequent and abundant. When it doesn't rain,
heat waves can still occur, during which the temperature can reach 38/39 °C (100/102 °F).
In the
Andes (see Cajamarca, Cusco, Machu Picchu), daytime temperatures are stable throughout the year, however, the highest temperatures of the year often occur in October and November. Night temperatures are now similar to those of summer. However, at the highest altitudes it gets cold at night, and especially in the south and above 3,500 meters (11,500 feet), the temperature can drop below freezing (see Juliaca).
On the low-altitude desert plateau between the Andes and the coast (see
Ica, Nazca), around 500 meters (1,650 feet), it gets hot during the day.
On the
coast, where due to the cool Humboldt current the climate is arid or desert, but also characterized by cloud cover and mists, temperatures are hot in the extreme north (see Tumbes) and very mild in the center-south, however, they are still a few degrees lower than the hottest months, which here are February and March. The sun is seen more often than in winter, even in Lima. However, in this month it never rains on the whole coast.
In the southern part of the coast (see Pisco, Marcona, Ilo) some
cool air can arrive, which can bring the night temperature down to 10/12 °C (50/54 °F).
The
sea is a bit cool for swimming even in the far north, while in the center-south it is very cool, if not a little cold.
However, the sea gets warmer than usual in El Niño years, and cooler than usual in La Niña years.
