Panama Weather
How is the weather in
Panama? This is a common question. Most of Panama is
situated just a few degrees (8) above the equator, so temperatures
vary little from month to month. What does vary is the
rainfall and humidity as well as the average temperature of each
region. Panama has destinations that enjoy a variety of
climates, from the light sweater weather of Boquete to extreme
heat and humidity of Colon.
Panama City is at sea
level, so the climate is quite warm and humid (depends on the
month), similar to Miami. Air conditioning is everywhere:
taxis, hotels, stores, restaurants...and the locals are quite used
to it. Light city clothing is recommended for Panama City.
Walking the city at noon can be uncomfortable, but the early
mornings and evenings are fantastic. Beach towns and the
islands are warm, but a nice breeze and lower humidity on some
islands makes it quite pleasant for beach goers.
The Anton Valley and
Chiriqui Province are both at higher elevation and enjoy cooler
weather. The Caribbean and Pacific Coasts have slightly
different seasons. Because of the great variety of islands,
mainland beaches, mountains and valleys, just about any time of
year there is always somewhere pleasant to visit in Panama.
