The climate of Pucallpa (Peru)
Pucallpa is a remote settlement in Peru. The town was founded in the
19th century by missionaries who wanted to convert the local
inhabitants to Christianity. Because of its location in between the
Andes and the tropical rainforest Pucallpa is very hard to reach.
However, at the beginning of the 20th century a road was constructed
making it easier to reach Pucallpa. You should bear in mind that this
road may be impassable during heavy rainfall. Heavy rainfall is not
uncommon here, especially during the beginning of the rainy period.
Most rain falls from October till December. Rainfall is very
characteristic for places with a tropical rainforest climate. During
the rest of the year showers are not uncommon either. Temperatures are
high all year round. However, during the rainy period temperatures
slightly drop. A unique weather condition around the city are fierce
winds. These winds may cause danger for air traffic and may reach
speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
