For anyone considering traveling to Panama and who is not familiar with the Panamanian climate:

The climate is tropical, hot, humid, cloudy, and there is a prolonged rainy season (from May to January) and a short dry season (from January to May). In my opinion January to May is the best climate, although it is very warm all throught the year and many people living in a cold climate find this to be a huge blessing. On the other hand, if you can't imagine what the rainy season is like, let me explain; it's not a little bit of rain like that starts slowly with tiny drops like in the US or Europe, the rain is a very heavy rain (huge rain drops) and from the moment you feel the first drop to when it starts to rain heavily takes less than 15 seconds. You can also tell it starts to rain when you see people running like hell.

Cheers,

Michael
