2009 winter[edit]

So how cold does it actually get?? There's no mentioning about it in this section. It just states that 250 people died, that's it. KNewman (talk) 08:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The whole section on the 2009 weather seems to accept the myth that cold weather causes sickness, making an immediate segue from cold to cases of infection. Common_cold#Exposure_to_cold_weather. JSB73 (talk) 16:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Weather Underground data for the last three months, for drit Arequipa, Peru I don't anything much below 40 degrees! Where did the data come from for this edit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hvacrmaster (talk • contribs) 23:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possible deletion of off topic material[edit]

I've put an off topic tab on the sections about the 2009 and 2010 cold spells in Peru. While this material is interesting, and may fit somewhere, I don't think it belongs in an overview article about the climate of Peru. If no objections, I'll delete this material eventually -- or find someplace else where it fits.Smallchief (talk) 07:44, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It makes sense to take the material out of this article IMO.Jason Rees (talk) 16:51, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
