You won't fry like a piece of bacon simply because we're not talking about arrid tripple-digit heat (the likes of which one would experience in, say, Arizona or Nevada), the avarage temperature is about 90°F coupled with high humidity which, ironically enough, has a cooling effect. Arizona/Nevada (in the summer) is a furnace, Panama (year-round) is a sauna.
The tropical climate can be physically oppressive and uncomfortable, but you won't die of heat stroke....
