In March 2025, Peru experienced significant flooding as a result of intense rainfall.
The areas hit hardest included Tumbes, Piura, Cajamarca, Amazonas, Huánuco, Ancash, and Pucusana.
The influx of warm waters into the northern Peruvian sea is thought to have played a role in this event. The intense rainfall resulted in rivers overflowing, necessitating the evacuation of residents.
Reports indicate that around 150,000 individuals have been affected by the flooding, with approximately 3,000 homes sustaining damage.
