Grinia Avalos, head of Peru's National Meteorology and Hydrology Service (Senamhi), said El Nino is entering an extraordinary phase that could bring intense, persistent rains from December through February, with sea temperature anomalies above 4 degrees, comparable to the 1982-1983 and 1997-1998 events. She said normal rainy season totals of 20-30 millimeters could reach 250-300 millimeters in northern Peru, raising flood risks in Tumbes, Piura and the central coast, including Lima's Chosica and Chaclacayo areas.
