Peru Weather

Peru weather is very unpredictable. It could be rainy early in the morning then in the mid-day, be stifling hot. In fact, in one day, Peruvians can experience all the four seasons. But in general, the weather in Peru consists of two seasons only. These are the wet and dry season. However, since Peru is a geographically diverse country, the local weather patterns can greatly vary.

Weather in Peru's Three Distinct Geographical Regions

There are three distinct geographical regions in Peru. Generally speaking, the weather varies greatly in these regions. The three regions are the mountain highlands which include Cusco and Lake Titicaca, the coastal region which includes Lima, Nasca, and Arequipa, and the Amazon jungle.

In the mountain highlands, the sun shines all year round during the morning but the temperature starts to get colder at night, usually averaging five degrees Celsius. The dry season, which is characterized by dry days and cold dry nights, is from mid-April to october. The wet season, on the other hand, is from November to mid-April. The months with the most rain are January and February.

In the coast, there is varied weather on which winter runs from June to September. Unlike in other countries, summertime in coastal regions of Peru lands on the months of December to April. During these months, beaches around Lima and the North are packed.

Just like in the highlands and the coast, there are also wet and dry seasons in the Amazon jungle. The dry season is from April to October with an average temperature of 30 to 35 degrees Celsius and the wet season is from November to March.

Peru weather varies in the three different regions. Although the weather in Peru is quite irregular, the good thing is that Peruvians only have to adjust to two main seasons.

Home Office Telephones: Plantronics CT12 Review

When setting up a home office with a new computer, fax machine or perhaps even a copier, be sure to pick the right telephone. Your phone will be an important link to the outside world and chances are youll be spending a lot of time on it.

If youve ever tried to work with a computer or other office equipment while talking on the phone, you know how frustrating it can be. A hands free telephone is one item that you cannot afford to be without. Fortunately, there are many hands free phones to choose from.

A good choice might be the Plantronics CT12 Cordless Headset Telephone. The CT12 2.4 GHz DSS model is about the size of a cell phone and comes equipped with a 2-way headset. This design allows you to make and receive calls hands free while working and moving around. The handset maintains a wireless connection to the base, which plugs into a land line jack.

The CT12s hand set is well laid out and solid. Its small measurements (3 1/4 x 2 x 1) make it perfectly pocket sized. The display is a three line, backlit lcd. The CT12s keypad is easy to use but the tiny buttons seem a bit awkward at first. The only problem is the belt clip: it allows the phone to fall off. Its best to carry it in a pocket.

The lightweight headset can be worn over the ear or over the head. Either position is comfortable but I prefer over the head. It just feels much more secure. The CT12 has a feature that the manufacturer calls Firefly. This is a small red light at the end of the headset that blinks to let others know when youre talking on the phone.

The sound quality, both incoming and outgoing, is really quite good. The microphones noise canceling technology helps to suppress background noise, such as air conditioners. The CT12s range is 100 FT. from the base. You can walk around your house, into another room or even outside with no loss of reception. The lithium ion battery provides 5 to 6 hours of talk time or 14 days on standby.

The CT12 comes with all of the standard features: speed dialing, a phone book that has enough room for 100 numbers, call waiting, caller ID and chain dialing. Chain dialing allows you to store numbers that are used once your call connects, such as extension or account numbers. There is no speaker phone however, as the CT12 was designed for hands free use.

The CT12s only drawback is the occasional interference with wireless computer networks. This problem can be overcome by pressing the channel selector button. Alternatively, you can change the channel on your wireless router.

The overall quality of the CT12 is very good. This is a phone that can take a lot of abuse. All things considered, Id say its a good buy.
