Nazca is one of the most arid regions in the world, with an average annual precipitation of 4 millimeters. Nazca's weather is controlled by the [[Humboldt Current]], which carries water from Antarctica up the west coast of South America.

This cold ocean water cools the air and limits the accumulation of moisture within clouds; as a result, though clouds and fog are able to form, there is little rain.

Nazca's temperatures range from 10 to 32&nbsp;°C with an average daily high of 21&nbsp;°C. Summer months from November to March are dry, sunny, and hot. During the winter from June to August, fog from the coast rolls over the hills to keep temperatures in the moderate range; however, the intense sun makes daylight hours seem hotter than they are.<ref>{{cite book |title=Discovering Nazca Peru |author=Ted E Barker |date=October 2011 |publisher=CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform |isbn=978-1480220379 }}</ref>
