Lima, at least it has pleasant temperatures. Hot and cloudy has to be one of the most annoying weather combinations ever, if it's cloudy at least let it be cold

It's odd for me to imagine but it must be like a fine mist or a ground level fog over all those days or something?



I suppose I can't imagine it'd get something like a thunderstorm or heavy rain drops very often.

Also it seems from the wiki page that Monrovia's record highs are really remarkable in that they're barely a few degrees higher than the average high (if those stats are trustworthy)!

Very fine mist, generally. A lot of people there have never owned an umbrella. In the cities of Arica and Iquique in Chile, when the mean annual rainfall is less than 1mm (!) you see cars without windscreen wipers.

No contest - Lima.
Some semblance of seasons and overall quite temperate.

World's driest city. The Wiki information is wrong on sunshine, as pointed out on older threads. However in the last 15 years, Iquique has been drier, though both places had an unusually "wet" year in 2002: over 9mm in both. In the other 14 years in the period 1996-2010, Iquique has had only 0.7mm rain (10 years with zero).

Both are insane but I think I would pick Monrovia. Lima's climate is just yucky to me, as is the bare landscape around it. So many rainy days with that precipitation total... At least in Monrovia you have thunderstorms to enjoy, even if the rainfall is 3x too high.

I have the same opinion about sun. If it's sunny, at least let it be warm!
