This is because there aren\u2019t so many tourists during these months and there\u2019s also a pleasant climate with little to no rain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want to base your trip on what\u2019s happening in the city, June is the best month to visit. It\u2019s the anniversary of Cusco, and something is happening in the center every day. It is busier regarding tourists, though.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we\u2019ll look at <strong>Cusco weather by month<\/strong> and during the rainy and dry seasons so you can better understand what to expect and use it to plan your vacation accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-rainy-season-what-to-expect\">Cusco Rainy Season: What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cusco Peru weather<\/strong> is somewhat variable and unpredictable. You should always expect rain, so it&#8217;s a good idea to always carry a rain poncho or waterproof jacket with you, just in case. You&#8217;ll also find many days when it doesn&#8217;t rain, and the sky is clear and sunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>January and February are the rainiest months<\/strong>, which makes them the quietest for tourism as well. However, this means you can find many deals in the city for hotels, restaurants, and trips. Remember that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/inca-trail\/trek-inca-trail-machu-picchu-cusco-peru\/\"><strong>Inca Trail<\/strong><\/a> and other routes will be closed in February. Here is information about each month during the <strong>rainy season in Cusco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/salkantay-trek-experience-rainy-season-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Salkantay Trek Experience in the Rainy Season\" class=\"wp-image-4889\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Salkantay Trek Experience in the Rainy Season<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-november\">Cusco Weather in November<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This month is the end of the dry season, meaning that the land is arid and fields don\u2019t look so green. However, it also marks the start of the rainy season. The later it gets in November, the more likely you will see rain. The overall temperature is enjoyable, with a minimum temperature of 5.2\u00b0C at night and a high of 20\u00b0C during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-december\">Cusco Weather in December<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the beginning of summer throughout Peru when all the nationals start vacationing. The<strong> weather at Cusco Peru<\/strong> is warm again, like in November, but it also means heavier rainfall is coming. Traveling is still lovely this time of year; you must be prepared with protective rain gear. Expect lows of 5\u00b0C at night and up to 18.8\u00b0C in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-january\">Cusco Weather in January<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see the sun a little less in <strong>Cusco<\/strong> in January, and you\u2019ll see rain at some point on most days. However, showers don\u2019t last too long, and things usually dry quickly afterward, so you can enjoy some warm periods amidst the rain. This month, you\u2019ll experience lows of 5.8\u00b0C and highs of 18.5\u00b0C in the warmest part of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-february\">Cusco Weather in February<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll get even wetter in February, which is notoriously the wettest of all months in Cusco.<strong> Some attractions in the region don\u2019t operate<\/strong>, the biggest being the Inca Trail. The ground is too slippery, and it\u2019s risky. Those working on the route also take the chance to do some maintenance. The coldest you\u2019ll feel is at 5.9\u00b0C, and you\u2019ll be your warmest at 18\u00b0C. So, despite the rainfall, the overall temp doesn\u2019t fluctuate much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-march\">Cusco Weather in March<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The heavy showers continue throughout March, but you\u2019ll see a few more breaks in the clouds and enjoy a little more sun. <strong>All treks are open once again<\/strong>. However, you\u2019re still very likely to get wet so having the right equipment is essential, especially hiking boots or shoes with a good grip for slippy trails. Minimum temps are 5.7\u00b0C, and highs are around 18.4\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-april\">Cusco Weather in April<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re finally seeing the rain tail off this month, and the showers drop significantly. It\u2019s still part of the wet season because there are still showers here and there, but you\u2019ll see plenty of sun and enjoy lovely days. It\u2019s starting to get chilly at night, with a low of 4.2\u00b0C and a high of 18.9\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-dry-season-what-to-expect\">Cusco Dry Season: What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we get into the dry season, <strong>you\u2019ll enjoy mostly sunny days<\/strong> and some fantastic views of the landscapes. This does mean, though, that many more tourists want to take advantage of the nice weather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to plan well at this time of year as hotels, restaurants, and many trips can become fully booked well in advance. We recommend planning your vacation three months before you come. Now, let\u2019s look at each month through the dry season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cusco-city-weather-peru-1080x716-1-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"Cusco city dry season\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Cusco Dry Season<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-may\">Cusco Weather in May<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the official beginning of the dry season, and you might see the odd shower but not much rain. The average precipitation is falling dramatically, and the temperature is delightful. It can reach 2\u00b0C at night, but you still enjoy highs of around 18.7\u00b0C daily. This is an excellent time of year before the big crowds arrive here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-june\">Cusco Weather in June<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>June is the driest time of the whole year, with very little rainfall. You might not see any at all while visiting Cusco this month. It\u2019s also the beginning of the busiest tourist season, with the <strong>monthly <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/cusco-festivities-2023-delve-into-the-magical-june-celebrations\/\"><strong>Cusco anniversary celebrations<\/strong><\/a>. You can expect to see large crowds at all attractions. It starts to get chilly at night in June, with a low of 0.2\u00b0C and then highs of 18.5\u00b0C during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-july\">Cusco Weather in July<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the coldest month of the year because it reaches 0.3\u00b0C at night. However, you can still expect pleasant afternoons without a cloud in the sky and a high temperature of 18.1\u00b0C. July is busy again with patriotic festivities taking place. Although it\u2019s a dry month, you might see the occasional hailstorm. The sun is strong during these dry months, so be sure to use a high factor sunscreen with a hat and sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-august\">Cusco Weather in August<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re coming to the end of winter this month, but you can still expect chilly temps at night, with a low of 0.6\u00b0C. However, days are getting warmer; you should feel warm at 19.3\u00b0C. Rainfall in August is still relatively low, so it\u2019s still a popular time of year with tourists. Expect some great views of the incredible Andean landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cusco-weather-in-september\">Cusco Weather in September<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Things are getting warmer again in September, and it\u2019s a lovely time of year. <strong>Cusco<\/strong>,<strong> Peru weather <\/strong>is warm, clear, and sunny, and you only see the occasional shower here and there. It\u2019s still reasonably busy tourism-wise. This month&#8217;s temperature will range between 3.4\u00b0C at night and 19.2\u00b0C in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cusco Weather in October<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the warmest month in Cusco and <strong>a great time of year to beat the crowds<\/strong> while enjoying some nice weather. The skies are generally clear and blue, with the odd rainfall here and there. This is the last time of the year to get stunning views of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/machu-picchu-tours\/\"><strong>Machu Picchu<\/strong><\/a> and other sites. Expect a low temperature of 4.7\u00b0C and a high of 20.3\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Peru_Cusco_weather-1080x716-1-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"Dry seasson Cusco\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Some fantastic views of the landscapes<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weather-cusco-peru-faqs\">Weather Cusco Peru Faqs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Weather in Cusco?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the entire year, the temperature actually only varies by 3.7\u00b0C. This is between 8.9\u00b0C and 12.6\u00b0C. The coldest you\u2019ll feel all year is -0.3,\u00b0C and the warmest is 20.3\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the coldest month in Cusco?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The coldest months throughout the year are June and July. The average temperature in June is 9.1 \u00b0C; in July, it\u2019s just 8.9 \u00b0C. It\u2019s in the middle of the dry season, but the nights get very cold. If you\u2019re trekking in the mountains, you\u2019ll need a good quality, warm sleeping bag. Despite the cold temps at night, you\u2019ll still find it\u2019s sunny and warm in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-is-the-rainy-season-in-cusco-nbsp\">When is the rainy season in Cusco?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rainy season in Cusco spans from November to March, with January and February being the rainiest months.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-weather-like-in-cusco-during-the-rainy-season-nbsp\">What is the weather like in Cusco during the rainy season?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the rainy season in Cusco, which typically runs from November to March, you can expect frequent rain and cooler temperatures.
