When to visit Panama
Seasons
December-April, Panamas drier season, is the generally favoured time
of year for visitors, but usually only Christmas and the week before Easter are
very busy.
May- November Travel outside the dry season is less popular, but the scenery is
greener and prices can be lower. If you are planning to dive or snorkel the
water visibility is better during the rainy season as there is less wind. Panama
is outside of the hurricane belt.
September is generally the wettest month in Panama City.
It is not uncommon for Bocas del Toro to receive at least one torrential downpour on a weekly basis throughout the year.
Temperatures
Panama lies in the tropics just north of the Equator, so temperatures are fairly constant all year round, just varying with altitude. At sea level, temperatures are a tropical 30-35°C, tempered by sea breezes. Up in the highlands temperatures generally hover around 15-19°C.
