Peru has no hurricanes. The waters off Peru are cold all year round this is due to the Peru current thus making the Pacific coast of not only Peru but of all south America virtually immune to hurricanes. In fact most of Peru's coast is desert due to the rainshadow effect caused by the Andes.Peru's capital Lima, gets little to no rainfall all year round, it only drizzles.

Why do the Gulf Coast and eastern Florida experience more hurricanes than the rest of the country?

The US gulf coast and southern Atlantic coast border warm water from the tropics. This warm water provides the energy that power hurricanes. This energy comes from water vapor that evaporates from the warm water. Storm clusters that often roll off the coast of Africa serve as "seeds" that grow into hurricanes when they encounter this energy source. Hurricanes are cut off from this source of moisture once they hit land and rapidly lose strength. So hurricanes lose hurricane status before they can get very far inland. The waters of the Pacific and northern Atlantic coasts are too cold to support hurricanes.


Why do hurricanes get weaker when they hit land?
