The temperature doesn't fluctuate much in Panama, as it is tropical and near to the equator. The driest season runs from December to April, while the rest of the year is generally wetter, although in some areas, notably the Caribbean coast, there is rainfall all year round. The Pacific coast and lowlands see the driest weather during these months. The humidity can be a challenge in the height of the wet season, and some remoter stretches of road may become waterlogged. If the heat and humidity are uncomfortable, remember you are never far from a refreshing sea to bathe in, or you could plan to retreat to the highlands for some cooler days.
