Overview
- Senamhi’s orange alert, in effect Wednesday through Thursday, covers 14 highland regions including Huánuco, Cusco, Puno and highland districts of Lima.
- Forecast totals for Wednesday call for 15–22 mm of rain in the northern sierra, 10–16 mm in the central sierra, and 15–25 mm in the south.
- Senamhi says hail is likely above roughly 2,800 meters and snow at very high elevations near 3,800 meters, with one outlet citing 4,000 meters.
- Thunderstorms could bring lightning and wind gusts around 30–35 km/h, which can threaten travelers, open fields and weak roofs.
- Senamhi, Peru’s national weather service, notes the orange level points to short-term hazards that can disrupt roads and farm work in high Andean communities.
