More rain, I guess. Colder winters seems like the obvious choice here, but a cold winter that's that dry wouldn't make this a good climate (neither would more rain, I guess). Kind of a tough one, this is such a shit climate that vastly improving only one thing still makes it a shit climate lol.

That's right haha. The climate is so shit that applying any one of those options would still result in a shit climate. I guess that's the point though.
I went for more rain, just winning slightly over more sun. At least with a lot more rain it'd make sense for it to be that cloudy.

More sun definitely. The clouds are the most annoying part of living in Lima

Lately there have been some really dark clouds floating around here when there's been no rain risk. Rather random, but I'd assume that happens a lot near the Humboldt Current?

Usually they are whitish gray, similar to lane effect clouds we get in NYC. Those are the worst types of clouds, at least dark clouds can be exciting

Why are they formed and why don't they have any precipitation in them neither there nor inland? Is it that the sea temps are so cold that there can be no atmospheric instability, but shouldn't that render high-pressure sunshine similar to San Francisco? I find that really odd. |

More rain, but not too much. Add an inch to every month except leave a 3-month wet season in "winter", with about 5 inches per month, maybe 7 at the peak, and plenty of thunderstorms. Could be maybe a B- climate with that precip.

Make it warmer year round.

Tough choice. On one hand, it's very cloudy—albeit with very little rain, but on the other hand I'd miss showers/thunderstorms, and the temperatures are rather pleasant most of the year. I'll vote for more sun, as I'd rather have lots of sunny weather than constant rain & clouds, even considering that at 12 degrees away from the equator, cloudy weather isn't as dreary as what you might see in N. Europe. If there was an option to make it warmer in the summer I would've went for that, as I prioritize summer heat nearly much as sunshine.

Definitely more sun. Lima is pathologically cloudy. It must be one of the cloudiest major cities in the world. I can imagine a future scenario in which the Humboldt current has weakened and Lima's climate becomes warmer, wetter and sunnier.

Deffo more rain for me. More rain, I guess. Colder winters seems like the obvious choice here, but a cold winter that's that dry wouldn't make this a good climate (neither would more rain, I guess). Kind of a tough one, this is such a shit climate that vastly improving only one thing still makes it a shit climate lol. This man nailed it. |

Lack of sunshine or absence of proper cold doesn't bother me more than virtually rainless conditions.
Lima would be so much better even just receiving 30mm each month.
