Weather in Peru.

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to let you know that our tour director has sent us this information about the weather:

Weather in Peru
LIMA
During June the weather is mild!!! Average high (19 °C / 66 °F), average low (12 °C / 53 °F). NO WET or rainy days in this month, but usually over cast and light fog.
Dress for mild weather in Lima. (The walk in Lima will be really easy and pretty much flat so you can walk in sneakers or good sandals, Shirts or T-shirts lightweight pants). Pack mild-weather clothing for day and jackets and sweaters for the evening.
CUSCO
During June its dry season in Cusco let’s say 3 rainy days in this month!!! About temperature: Average high (19 °C / 67 °F), average low (1 °C / 34 °F).
The above being said its always good to plan for rain just in case!!! Bring a raincoat or a rain poncho and waterproof shoes. Jeans are common for the region although they are difficult to wash by hand, and take a long time to dry. Peru often experiences long bouts of rain, so you may find yourself drying your clothes inside your room. Avoid carrying heavy, wet jeans in your luggage, by bringing lightweight, quick drying pants. The weather forecast doesnt call for rain but just in cased..
Dress for cold nights. While you may experience hot, sunny days, the evenings quickly cool off, so bring a lightweight fleece that you can easily carry in your backpack or day bag. Also, pack warm pajamas, as hotel blankets are often not sufficient to keep the chill off at night.
Protect yourself from the strong Andean sun by wearing sunglasses, a sun hat, sunblock lotion with a high protection factor and lip protection.
Take comfortable sneakers or breathable hiking boots. The rural streets of Peru are either dirt or paved with jagged stones, and often slippery when wet, which can be rough on sandaled feet!!!
MACHUPICCHU
During June, still the dry season with little to no rainy days average of 3 rainy days in this month, the temperature is quite nice, rarely rising above 30°C (86ºF) nor dropping 12°C (50ºF) 
The weather will be pretty much like Cusco so layer your clothing as climate changes rapidly throughout the day and from region to region. This is especially important when taking the bus and train trips. You may start the day off in the warmth of the sun, but you will soon find yourself shivering in your seat and later caught in the cool Peruvian air wearing only a t-shirt!!!
So remember that we have an overnight in Machupicchu and for that we need to bring a CARRY ON DAY PACK. We are not allowed to take the big suit cases on the train!!! so for your overnight bag dont forget to pack a jacket and some warm clothes for the evening. 

Read thoroughly when packing.

Can't wait!
