Peru swelters: Chulucanas hit 38°C, and Senamhi says 40°C is coming. The government still has 893 districts across 22 regions and the constitutional province of Callao under a state of emergency, and ENFEN, the government’s El Niño commission, expects the event to stay active until mid-autumn 2027.

Northern Peru has spent weeks breaking its own thermometer. On Tuesday, Sept. 15, the Chulucanas weather station in the Piura region logged 38 degrees Celsius, the highest figure Senamhi has confirmed so far in this stretch of extreme heat. It’s not an isolated spike — it’s part of an escalation that began in August and, by the agency’s own account, hasn’t peaked yet.
