Climate Overview
Lima
Desert — unique foggy grey winters, warm sunny summers, almost no rain
Lima has the world's most paradoxical coastal desert climate. Despite being a tropical latitude, it rarely gets rain due to the cold Humboldt Current offshore. Summers (December–April) are sunny and warm; winters (June–October) are blanketed in garúa — a thick grey mist with drizzle that rarely lifts.
Olympia
Olympia at the southern tip of Puget Sound is Washington's capital and the Evergreen State College's city. The South Sound position means the marine layer is somewhat weaker than central Puget Sound communities, but Olympia is still firmly Pacific Northwest with abundant rainfall and mild temperatures. The Deschutes River and Percival Cove provide water features.
