Panama is only a couple of degrees above the equator so sun rise and set and the temperatures are basically the same all year around. However the rainfall and the humidity change drastically throughout the months of May - November with the highest rainfall in September and October.

The seasons is Panama run normally dry from Dec - April and then May to November is the green season where you will see rain in the afternoons with beautiful blue skies in the AM. The months of May, June, July, November are transitional months and mean you may see rain you may not. It is not uncommon to have weeks without a touch of rain!!

Every part of Panama however has different seasons as the Pacific is not the same as the Caribbean weather in October.

Panama City is situated at sea level and therefore the the climate is warm and very humid and is often compared to Miami. One thing you will find when in Panama City is that there is AC everywhere, Taxis, restaurants, bars, hotels, it is everywhere. During the peak sun times of 11am - 2pm it is suggested to stay out of the sun and also not to walk as you will sweat a lot. However mornings and night are very comfortable and shorts can be worn all year around.

The Pacific Beach areas are cooler as the Ocean breezes cool the areas and the humidity level out of the city is much lower. The Anton valley and Chiriqui because they are in the hills and mountains enjoy very much cooler weather all year around, however in the dry season the sun shines all day!! As was said above the Caribbean areas of Panama are different because normally it is said, when it is good on Pacific it is bad on the caribbean and vice versa.
