Piura climate: monthly averages

Everything below is collected in one spot so you do not have to cross-check Piura climate: monthly averages by hand. The gap between Aug and Mar is 4.6 C here: 23.4 C against 28.0 C. Precipitation peaks in Mar (1.69 mm/day) and bottoms out in Aug (0.04 mm/day), so a 42.2x difference between the two. Taken together that is roughly 140 mm of rain a year for the grid cell. Because each page is rebuilt independently, one unavailable upstream never takes the rest of the site down. Exact monthly values are in the table; links below cover adjacent locations and years.

What the Piura climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the -5.1819, -80.6572 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

Is Piura climate data a forecast?

No. These are multi-decadal averages for the grid cell, not a prediction for any particular year.

Why do the numbers differ from a weather app?

An app shows one location on one day. These are long-run averages, so they smooth out single hot or cold spells.
