Ya think??? If I recall my  high school geography class, summer in the
northern hemisphere would make  that winter in the southern hemi. I think
Peru would be down there and at  3000 meters above sea level, wouldn't you
think it might be cold high in  the mtns????

After today, I might like to be in Peru for a few days  :)))

Peru  Government Declares Cold Wave Emergency in 16 Regions

LIMA - The  Peruvian government declared a state of emergency because of 
the cold wave  gripping a number of districts in the nation's 16 regions, 
according to an  urgent decree published Saturday in the official gazette.

The decree  covers all districts of the country more than 3,000 meters 
(9,800 feet)  above sea level, as well as three regions in the Peruvian 
jungle that have  registered strangely low temperatures in the last few  
weeks.

According to official figures, so far this year at least 409  people have 
died of pneumonia and ailments related to the cold weather,  most of them 
younger than 5 years old (200 deaths) and over 60 years (158  deaths).

The emergency declaration, which has a duration of 60 days,  covers 
districts in the regions of Ancash, Apurimac, Arequipa, Ayacucho,  Cusco, 
Huancavelica, Huanuco, Junin, Lima, Moquegua, Pasco, Puno and  Tacna, 
which in recent days reached a temperature of -24 C (-11  F).

A state of emergency was also declared in the jungle regions of  Madre de 
Dios, Ucayali and Loreto.

The decree published Saturday  also includes a series of measures that 
will allow regional and local  governments to supply the affected 
populations with food and  vaccines.

The armed forces were also called upon by Defense Minister  Rafael Rey to 
carry out civic actions to help those populations most  vulnerable to the  
cold.
