Cyclone Yaku was an unusual low-pressure system in the far Southeastern Pacific that impacted Ecuador and northern Peru in early March 2023. It has been described by the National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology of Peru (SENAMHI) as an "unorganized tropical cyclone" not seen since 1983 or 1998.[1] In Peru, the system killed at least eight,[2] affected 49,000 people and destroyed thousands of homes.[3][4][5][6]
