One of the hottest cities of coastal Peru
Just to note that on El Niño years rain is way more than average:
1983: 2273 mm (89.5 in)
1998: 1850 mm (72.84 in)
Anyway I rate it as A-/B+
Great summers but winter lows are too cool and too dry overall

I would like to know the sunshine and humidity numbers before rating but I'm going to assume that it's humid and the sunshine isn't that high. I'll give it a B.

Hum... I think you should check these facts...
I have no idea on how much it rained during El Niño years --I guess much more than the usual-- but such figures look utterly unrealistic compared to the annual average.
First of all, if the period of record of the average precipitation provided by wikipedia is 30 years, we have 2273/30=76 mm --> it's already way above 40 mm.
I'm guessing that it's often humid, because of it's coastal location?(Correct me if I'm wrong...) If that's the case then it gets an even lower rating from me, like in the E-/F+ range.

I was going to post that. Even with only 1998 receiving precipitation and no other year receiving it, it would still average more than 40 mm
1850/30= 61.7 mm a year
To be fair though 1983 doesn't fall within the last 30 years.
