Overview
- Senamhi, which issued its Holy Week outlook Wednesday, projected very high to extremely high UV for Lima’s beaches and the capital with indices around 9–11 and possible peaks near 13.
- Authorities advise avoiding direct sun from 10:00 to 16:00, using wide‑brim hats and UV‑filter sunglasses, wearing skin‑covering clothing, applying sunscreen often, and staying well hydrated.
- Daytime heat will intensify on the north and central coast with highs near 34 °C, while interior Lima districts such as Ate, Carabayllo, and Chosica could reach 31–32 °C as near‑shore areas hold near 26 °C.
- Lima and Callao are not expected to see significant rain over the long weekend as a South Pacific anticyclone brings morning low clouds that clear by midday and leave mostly sunny skies.
- Gusts near 35 km/h on the central coast could lift dust and cut visibility, while the sierra and selva face afternoon and evening rains through the holiday with hail above about 2,800 meters, snow above 3,800, lightning, and storm gusts near 40 km/h especially Friday to Sunday.
