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.

🇺🇸

Saint Louis

St. Louis at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers has one of America's most oppressive summer climates. The rivers converge here creating maximum humidity, and the city sits in a bowl that traps heat. The 2012 heat wave killed many here, and the Gateway Arch's stainless steel surface is so thermally conductive it can be felt at distance on hot days.
