Panama Climate

Panama maintains a tropical climate along the coast with fresher temperatures in the highlands. At sea level, temperatures usually hover around 30-33 degrees Celsius (90-100 degrees Fahrenheit) in the afternoon and drop to the low twenties at night (70's Fahrenheit). In mountainous towns like Boquete and Volcan, subtract about 8 degrees Celsius.
The Pacific coast receives a distinct dry season between December and May with occasional showers during the wet season. The Caribbean receives a mix of sun and afternoon showers for most of the year (the photo, left, pictures a Caribbean beach near Isla Grande in the Province of Colon).
