Preparing communities means protecting lives, communities and local economies.

El Niño warms Pacific waters, changing rainfall and temperatures. Climate change can intensify its impacts, making preparedness increasingly urgent.

How El Niño arrives

What happens in the ocean during El Niño?

Step 1 / 4
strong trade windsweak trade windscold water risesAsia and OceaniaPeru and Ecuadorwarm waterheavy rain
  1. 01

    A normal year

    Trade winds blow east to west and push warm water toward Asia. Off Peru, cold nutrient-rich water rises: the coast stays dry and anchovy thrive.

  2. 02

    The winds weaken

    The trade winds lose strength and stop pushing warm water west. It is the first signal ENFEN and NOAA watch for.

  3. 03

    The sea warms off Peru

    Warm water spreads to our coast. In septiembre 2026 it reached +4.7 °C above normal off Peru, the highest monthly value since 1982.

  4. 04

    The rains arrive

    A warmer sea evaporates more water and clouds unload over the northern and central coast: floods, mudslides and then dengue. Preparing ahead is what changes the ending.

Climatin · Households

Your family plan for El Niño

1. Understand local risk

What the official forecast means for your area, in plain language, with its source and date.

2. Make a family plan

Who lives with you—older adults, babies, people with disabilities and pets—determines what to do.

3. Take action

One step at a time, plus a ready-to-send message to notify family and neighbors.

What makes Climatin different

Does this affect me?

Each alert answers seven questions: what happened, where, whether it affects you, why, what to do, the source and the date.

Keep your loved ones informed

Ready-to-send WhatsApp messages tailored to your audience: family, an older relative or your neighborhood.

My block

A meeting point and a role for each neighbor, because in the first few minutes, help comes from next door.

Private by design

Your plan stays on your phone. No account or email needed, and "My people" is never shared.

What breaks first

Supplier, route, premises, customers, income. Alero shows the weakest link in your chain.

Actions with a price tag

Each action shows how long it takes and how many soles it protects, so you know where to start.

Built for every business

Corner shops, restaurants, workshops, transport, agriculture and more, in all 24 departments and Callao, with district-level detail in priority areas.

Free essentials, plus a Pro version

Free assessment, map, calculator, checklist and emergency mode. Alero Pro adds a guided plan.

Our story

How Climática began

Climática was born from an experience thousands of Peruvian families know well. During the 2017 coastal El Niño, Kelly's family home in Trujillo flooded and a relative had to be rescued; in Lima, rainwater pooled on the roof and seeped into the family business. It left one conviction: with timely information and a plan, the damage can be far smaller.

Kelly and Alejandra met in youth environmental activism. Kelly came from climate policy and Alejandra from energy and youth networks for the energy transition; both brought the voice of Peruvian youth to the UN climate conferences.

They saw the same gap: official forecasts from ENFEN and SENAMHI come out months ahead, yet families and small businesses find out when the water is already at the door. Climática exists to turn that information into simple decisions: what the forecast means where you live, what to do today and what it could cost your business.
