What is the weather like in Panama?
Panama has a sub-tropical climate where the year is split into a dry season and a rainy season. The dry season called verano, meaning summer, lasts from mid-December to mid-May. During the dry season most days are bright and sunny with a warm breeze and low humidity. The rainy season, known as invierno or winter, starts in mid-May and lasts through mid-December. Rainy season is just that – rainy, with daily rainstorms that you can set your clock by, usually hitting in the afternoon and lasting for about an hour or two before the sky clears up again. While precipitation levels change dramatically between the two seasons, the differences in temperature are barely noticeable at night. Throughout the year daytime temperatures average 30-31 ºC, 86-88 ºF and cool to 22-23 ºC, 72-73 ºF. Temperatures also vary considerably with changes in altitude.
