Best time to visit Trujillo

Peru · 20-year averages

February is the best month in Trujillo, scoring 48 out of 100, with September the weakest at 30. The 18-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 8 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

August is the warmest month at 37.8 °C and November the coolest at 35.8 °C — a 2 °C spread across the year. 365 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. March carries the rain — up to 11 wet days in a month — while June to September drop as low as 0. That 11-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Trujillo, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in January to April — 23.8 °C at its warmest against 17.6 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight barely moves: about 12.6 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

The three strongest months are February, May, October. The one to think twice about is September. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
