Panama - Climate & Weather



Most expats enjoy Panama's mild tropical climate and this is one reason it is very popular among retirees. Panama is very close to the equator, so even mountain ranges are temperate. However, Panama's rugged topography, narrow land mass, and proximity to two oceans creates significant variations in the weather from one town to the next. These changing climates also contribute to the amazing number of plant, bird and animal species found in the country. Altitudes range from sea level along the coasts to 800 - 1600 meters (2625 feet - 5250 feet) in the Chiriqui highlands, to 3475 meters at Volcan de Chiriqui, the country's highest point.

Temperatures vary from 21 - 34 deg Celsius (69-93 deg F) during the year, along the coast and inland. The coastal areas are slightly drier than the mountainous areas and tend to be slightly warmer, although the historical highs and lows are remarkably similar. Panama only has 2 seasons, the rainy season ('winter') runs from May to November. December to April is the dry season ('summer'). These seasons are relative, as each has a transition period and the sun often shines intensely in the mornings of the rainy season and thunderstorms are not unknown during the summer or 'dry' season.
