Panama

Climate / weather

There are two weather patterns in Panama which are separated by the mountains. The Caribbean side receives almost twice as much rain as the Pacific which is evened out through the year. On the Pacific side, there are more distinct wet./dry seasons with the dry months from December to April and wet from May to November. The dry season is very dry meaning that there is not enough tropical moisture to support a lush forest. Therefore you'll find mostly tropical savanna. Temperatures vary widely with the mountains usually 74F during the day and highs in the 50s at night. In the lowlands, the temperatures are 10 - 15 degrees warmer.
