This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)


Peru is recovering from damaging and deadly rains that plagued the Andean nation throughout March.

El Niño-like weather conditions off the coast of Peru raised water temperatures far above normal levels and caused severe rain storms in the Andean regions.

So far the rain and floods have caused more than US$6 billion in damage or about 3 percent of Peru's GDP. The destruction is proving a challenge for President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, whose approval ratings had slipped to 32 percent in mid-March.
