Panama is in that tricky transition between rainy season and dry season, and the weather is keeping things interesting. The winds over the Caribbean Sea are easing up, and low-pressure systems over the Pacific are stirring up the skies. Here’s what that means for you:
If you’re in the Caribbean region, expect cloudy mornings with occasional rain or even surprise thunderstorms. Places like the Ngäbe region, Bocas del Toro, northern Veraguas, and parts of Colón could see showers. By afternoon and evening, it’s still cloudy, with more rain and some electrical activity popping up in western areas. Pack an umbrella and maybe some waterproof shoes if you’re heading out!
On the Pacific side, the mornings are calmer—partly cloudy skies and no rain. But don’t let that fool you. By the afternoon, clouds roll in, bringing scattered showers to places like eastern Panama, central Veraguas, Ngäbe, and Chiriquí. If you’re out and about, expect occasional strong winds that might catch you by surprise!
What’s the Temperature Like?
The mornings are nice and cool, with lows between 57°F / 14°C (bring a sweater!) and 75°F / 24°C (sit outside and enjoy the perfect weather). Afternoons warm up to a comfy 82°F / 28°C to 91°F / 33°C—perfect for a beach day.
Heads Up for Outdoor Activities
In the Caribbean, strong winds and rip tides are still a thing, so if you’re planning to hit the water, be cautious. Waves can reach up to 1.82 meters with short breaks between swells. Over in the Pacific, the waves are slightly smaller (around 1.21 meters), but they can sneak up on you with faster intervals.
Also, don’t forget sunscreen! UVB radiation levels are expected to be moderate to very high on both coasts. Even if it’s cloudy, you can still get a sunburn.
Stay safe and plan ahead, whether you’re exploring Panama’s beaches, hiking through the hills, or just grabbing coffee at your favorite spot.
