Panama features a predominantly tropical climate with uniformly high temperatures year-round, high humidity, and distinct wet and dry seasons. Most areas experience average highs of 29-32°C and lows around 24°C, with minimal seasonal variation due to its equatorial position. Rainfall varies significantly by region, from drier Pacific lowlands to very wet Caribbean and mountain areas, influenced by the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and orographic effects. Köppen classifications include Tropical Monsoon (Am), Tropical Savanna (Aw), and cooler highland variants. Ideal for expats seeking warm weather, but the rainy season (May-December) brings heavy downpours, while dry months offer sunny conditions. Higher elevations provide milder temperatures for comfortable living.
