Abstract

CASTANEDA MURGA, Juan  and  TRUJILLO CORONADO, Isaac. The remarkable rains of 1818 through the correspondence of the Cajabamba doctrinero. Desde el Sur [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.1, e0004.  Epub May 26, 2022. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/des-1401-2022-0004.

Based on the correspondence between the Cajabamba priest José Perea and the ecclesiastical notary Fernando Pesantes, this article deals with Perea's impressions about the rains that occurred in 1818. In the midst of a context of fear and uncertainty due to the invasion of River Plate troops to captain general of Chile, Perea expressed his discomfort at the prolongation of the rainy season from November 1817 to August of that year until August 1818 and after a brief period of time the rains began again, preventing him from continuing with the repair works of the mother church of that town. This study concludes the occurrence of an El Niño Southern Oscillation in that year.

Keywords : El Niño; enviromental history; Cajabamba.
