Peru has experienced significant environmental and weather-related challenges across multiple regions. Initially, water scarcity caused disruptions in Huánuco, where the utility provider Seda Huánuco implemented restrictions in Amarilis and Pillco Marca, prompting regulators to demand contingency plans like water tankers. In the Andean communities of Huancavelica, the water deficit impacted livestock, leading to the deaths of alpaca and sheep offspring and prompting calls for emergency assistance from the Regional Federation of Peasant Communities of Huancavelica (FERCAMH).

Subsequently, the situation shifted toward severe weather events. In Huánuco, strong winds and flooding from the Megote River damaged homes and administrative offices, displacing several residents. Simultaneously, the Ica region faced high wind speeds of up to 46 km/h, causing dust and sand issues that reduced visibility for transport services.
