What is the best time to travel in Panama, and what is the worst time to go?

What is the best travel and departure time for Panama?

  • Panama has a tropical climate, ranging from a tropical rainforest climate along the border areas with Costa Rica and Colombia to a monsoon climate in the west and a tropical savanna climate in central Panama. Wherever you go in Panama, everywhere is tropically warm with temperatures around 30 degrees.
  • In spring, from February to May, temperatures can reach 34-35 degrees. Because there is always a fairly high relative humidity, Panama always feels clammy and stuffy.
  • Most of Panama has a rainy season, which runs from early May to mid-December. With the exception of the rain forests, most rain falls in the form of often very heavy showers, which can sometimes last for several hours during the rainy season. In the tropical rain forests, there is a very good chance of prolonged rains during the monsoon period.
