Panama Weather

Panama has two coasts, one on the Caribbean and one on the Pacific. It also has two seasons, dry and rainy. The Caribbean coasts see rain year round, while the Pacific coast has a dry season. The wet season is considered winter even though the temperatures are still warm and plants are budding. This may be the time book flights to Panama because traditionally there are fewer visitors and the prices are cheaper. Summer is the more popular season for flights to Panama, and the prices are higher, but there is less rain and less chance of being stuck inside.

Getting Around Panama
