Will there be sunshine in September?
Loayza answered yes. “if you’re watching that probably for days 3 and 4 we will have some resolanas, that is to say, that Lima has sunshine mainly in the eastern districts (La Molina, San Juan de Lurigancho, Ate, Santa Anita, Chaclacayo) because these winds are going to weaken”, said the specialist, specifying that this will happen around noon.

While the districts that are far from the sea like San Juan de Lurigancho, La Molina, Ate and Santa Anita they dawn with humidity between 94% and 95%, but towards noon they present a slight solar brightness.

Nor should we forget, he mentioned, that It is the third year in which the weak coastal La Niña has occurred, that is, the surface temperature of the sea water is below its normal value.. “This is a very important factor so that all the air around the sea is colder, with temperatures below normal both in coastal districts and those far from the sea.”, he added.
