The meteorologist of Senamhi, Mitza Puza, told La República that the greatest thermal sensation is due to the fact that the humidity is high and due to cloud cover, so if you have a temperature of 31°C or 32°C, it might feel like 34°C or 35°C.
This thermal sensation could cause the ’embarrassment’ due to the presence of heat and humidity. “When it moves, the body seeks to cool off, but the humidity prevents its evaporation, causing an oppressive feeling of heat.”

The arrival of summer on the coasts of Peru represents not only high temperatures but also an increase in UV radiation, due to the proximity between the sun and the earth.
According Senamhi, Peru is the country with the highest solar radiation in the worldhaving such high radiation levels throughout the year, so it is important to follow these recommendations
– Use sunscreen from 30 fps to more every two hours
– Wear a hat and long sleeves to protect yourself from UV rays
– Avoid direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
– Beware of moles that appear suddenly.
