Apia's bad. Same temperatures all year, no seasons, always the same tropical heat and moisture. But at least it's a typical bad. As in, there's plenty of other climates out there in the same score range. At least Apia's year round climate would make a passable summer.
Lima is so bad that it warrants a negative score. That's right, NEGATIVE! Pretty much everything a climate can do wrong, Lima did - in spades. This isn't just a bad climate, this is literally among the worst the planet has to offer, in the same league as Vostok. There is NOTHING good about Lima's climate!
-No winters
-Very small range of temperatures in general
-Managed to somehow have both too little sun AND virtually no precipitation
-28 hours of sun in a month with 0.04 inches of precipitation?
-Atrocious seasonal lag; June is warmer than October!
I give Apia an A and Lima a D.
No winter is a plus for me. Temperate climates consist of a good season and a bad season, with transitions between the two states in my opinion. If you can eliminate the bad, that's a positive. Lima's temperatures are OK and I like the lack of cold or extreme heat, but highs above 20 C and closer to 25 C would be better in all months. Lack of sunshine isn't too important as that close to the equator it's good to have some protection from the sun and even an overcast sky is going to be quite bright.
Now for the negative. And it's a big one: lack of rain. Produces some really dismal, dusty, scarred landscapes from the photos I've seen.

^Strewth!
However, I'd easily prefer Vostok Station over Lima, because at least it gets some sort of exciting weather—much unlike Lima, of which yields absolutely nothing in regards to weather.
The only "weather" Lima provides is easy-to-access suicidal fuel for when matters get slightly too ugly
