I froze my butt off in Miraflores last night and this morning, but was in jeans and a t'shirt this afternoon in Chaclacayo.
Two weeks ago I was swimming in a pool in Huacachina at two in the afternoon and wearing a ski parka and sweats that same night.

I don't get it. If all these lima districts have these warnings then miraflores lince and centro should be counted as well. Climates do change depending on location but a fifteen 20 minute cab ride shouldn't make that much of a difference. Maybe in the summer time (breeze off ocean).
I am seeing 63 for daytime highs and 57 for overnight lows. Those would be about average fall temperatures for New York City. I would dress in a sweater
and a mid/heavyweight fall jacket....63 usually means a nice spring day in new york if it's sunny .....a little cooler when the sun goes down.
Sleeping in this weather can be a little tricky. I highly recommend people bring thermals and a hooded sweatshirt to sleep in. Warm clothes are a must around this time of year.

Posts: 1233Peru declared state of Emergency in sixteen regions that are currently being hit by a severe cold wave, reports the Council of Minister.
The Minister of Women's Affairs, Nidia Vilchez, told the press that the areas located above 3,000 meters above sea have been prioritized.
“The regions mentioned in the official document are Áncash, Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco, Huancavelica, Huánuco, Junín, Moquegua, Pasco, Puno, Lima, Tacna, Madre de Dios, Ucayali and Loreto, that have already stood five v¿cold waves this year,” she said.
Temperatures in those areas by this times of the year are usually below zero, but this time they have dropped to as low as -24C, which has caused more respiratory conditions to worsen, adding to chronic malnutrition, increasing the number of seasonal deaths.
The state of emergency means regional authorities can dip into emergency funds to provide medicine, blankets and shelter to those most affected.
Some Lima districts have been included in the emergency declaration, like Villa María del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, Pachacámac, Lurín, Ate, Lurigancho, San Juan de Lurigancho, Comas, Carabayllo, San Juan de Miraflores and Ventanilla, in Callao.

Posts: 286USD to Soles exchange rate
I got 2.80 from the Cambista in Miraflores on Wednesday and Thursday this week. I tried to get 2.82 but they would not budge. The Cambista in Av. Benavides (near McDonalds) quoted 2.81 on Thursday.
I guess you get a better rate when you get out of Miraflores.
Regarding the rate at the Airport, yes I know its the worst rate. I just changed one bill so I could pay the Taxi and have some Soles leftover in my pocket.

Posts: 3074Today our changer is buying dollars at 2.82 and selling dollars at 2.84 Our friend BKKguru should know that the airport exchange booth in arrival gives the worst exchange rate although they have giant signs proclaiming: no commision. Obviously...they make their profit on their rip-off "tasa de cambio".

The going rate at the moment is 2.80
The lowwer rate is the airport rate.
Everybody knows that is a ripoff.
