Lima Welcomes Winter with Persistent Drizzle and Intense Cold

Lima, Peru - Winter has officially arrived in Lima, bringing with it persistent drizzle and a notable drop in temperatures, impacting daily life across the capital. As of Friday evening, the city experienced an intense cold marked by high humidity and a pervasive fog. Reporters from Panamericana Televisión observed the conditions firsthand from a pedestrian bridge near the Hospital del Niño, noting the wet surfaces and the challenges faced by pedestrians. "The humidity continues to rise; we are at 78% humidity," stated the reporter, adding that while temperatures hover around 17-18 degrees Celsius, the high humidity makes the cold feel much more intense. The persistent drizzle has left streets and pedestrian bridges damp, and visibility has been significantly reduced due to the fog. Landmarks like Morro Solar and areas towards Callao are obscured, indicating the widespread nature of the atmospheric conditions. Residents are advised to take precautions against the cold and humidity as the winter season sets in.
