I am residing in Lima, Peru. My first winter here was quite cold, a lot of fog and drizzle all day, every day, that was approximately 6 years ago. In 2023 there was no winter here... that explained everything, the summer was exhausting, autumn is supposed to have already begun, The mornings have been cool, but from 9am to 3pm it is quite hot and then again the weather is pleasant. On the other hand, in Venezuela, I was seeing photos on X (Twitter) of the "Salto angel" in practically dry condition. These scenarios are normal in dry seasons where flows drop to a minimum; However, the extreme drought has put the authorities on alert since forest fires are spreading throughout the territory, such as last week where the Henry Pittier National Park on the central coast suffered serious damage.
This is how it's supposed to be:
These are photos taken on the Internet, I have not had the opportunity to meet him in person.
Sad to see the "Salto del Angel" drey. And as a forest person, it breaks my heart each time there is a forest fire. Yes 2023 was a tipping point year. After the el Niño things should improve for next year, but temporarily.

It's really a shame, I've seen fires in various places in the news a lot, in Peru, Venezuela, in Chile a month ago there was a pretty bad fire, it lasted for several days, several lives and homes were lost. Here is a video of what happened in Chile in February: https://www.nytimes.com/es/2024/02/04/espanol/chile-incendio.html?smid=url-share
My mother lives in a city in Venezuela that has a lot of hills and in times of drought they burn, the sky of the city turns gray from the smoke.
Then come the torrential rains and floods, but I already think that this is bad management when it comes to building construction in places where there are flows or rivers. Supposedly this year here in Lima the winter will be quite strong, that's what they say in the news.
