🇵🇪 Lima vs 🇺🇸 Trenton

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.

Trenton, New Jersey's capital, on the Delaware River has a humid subtropical climate at the transition with humid continental. The Delaware River provides humidity and flooding risk while the city's industrial legacy has created heat island effects that exceed neighboring communities. Washington crossed the Delaware near here — winter weather at the river can be dramatic.
