Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location from records such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are activities that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically based on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, and the time of year, although initially these They were not very accurate.
It was not until the emergence of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that made it possible to achieve more accurate predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsthis beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit put on.

In the department of Piura, at least eleven types of climate are recorded, highlighting the weather conditions arid and hot, as well as temperate, with little humidity.
Piura is located north of Peru, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and on the border with Ecuador. Hence its mainly dry climate.
The climate that is most widespread throughout the department is arid.which runs from the west side on the coast of the Pacific Ocean reaching the provinces of Talara, Sullana, Paita, Sechura and Piura.
The easternmost area of the department, away from the coast and with higher altitudes, is where there are more varieties of climate, where the weather changes from arid to semi-arid, semi-dry and, in some parts, even becomes rainy and very rainy.
In Peru there are up to 38 types of climateaccording to the National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology (Senamhi), this as a result of the interaction between different climatic and geographical factors.
These main factors, Senamhi details, are its geographical position in the Tropic of Capricorn and the proximity of the Andes Mountains.
Of the 38 climates, Senamhi highlights three main which are defined according to the area of the country in which they are located.
on the coast of the South American country, which faces the Pacific Ocean and covers only 11.6% of the national territory, the prevailing weather is arid and temperateits main climatic characteristic being the lack of rain.
In the sawthe area near the Andes Mountains and which occupies 28.1% of the Peruvian territory, the climate is rainy and cold mostly.
While in the junglewhere the tropical climate of Peru is most observed, occupying 60.3% of its surface, the weather is defined as very rainy and hot.
