a) What were the most extreme temperatures in summer and winter in your city during the last 5-10 years?
b) Do you notice any effect of the climate change in your everyday life?
a) The annual average temperature of coast lands in Peru is beteewn 18º and 22º,5. We had some trouble trying to find out the most extreme temperatures during the last 5-10 years, but for the current one our lowest temperature for our city (Lima)has been 16.3º. According to some news, our temperature for winter should be ocilating around 14º - 16º, but somre specialist explain that due to Pacific Ocean warming phenomena (which sustains that our temperature is abnormally +2º than usual), our minimum temperature for this year would be 17º or 18º.
Because of the abscence of winds, usually common in this time of year, this proccess does not allow cold water deep in the sea come up to the surface.
b) Of course. It is changing strangely because we have some bright days but very cold nights. Some other times, our winters were just cold, and it was ok, but now this change of temperature makes us more vulnerable to disseases because our bodies will have to adjust faster to the new temperatures. Also, in summer, we had very hot days and nights. This might sound funny, but it is not only us the ones that are affected: animals, for instance, are too. Thinking of a closer example, our pets, specially dogs, need to be refreshed up more often (like more hair cuts, more baths, more water to drink). Big hairy dogs, like samoyedos, siberian huskies and so have lots of difficults to go along the summer, keep aside street dogs (that don't have anyone to take care of).
