The temperature in Panama City is hot all year round (an average of 29 degrees Celsius or 84 degrees Fahrenheit) and due to it’s location close to the Equator be careful to wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Even on a cloudy day it’s possible to get sunburned.

Though Panama has two seasons, The Rainy Season and Dry Season, the sun usually shines every day regardless of the time of year. During the rainy season (May to December) it is generally sunny and hot, with at most an hour or two of heavy rain in the afternoons. During the Dry season (January to April) there is very little rain and usually clear skies with more wind.
