High Season

The high season runs from mid-December to mid-April. These weeks are marked by summer, with blue skies and with little chance of rain. This is the best time to visit Panama, as it is also full of festivities, such as the New Year, Holy Week and Carnival, and the good weather encourages outdoor activities in both mountains and coasts.

Shoulder Season

In Panama there is not something that is considered as an average season, the Panama´s weather is usually very stable throughout the year.

Low Season

The low season of Panama is from the end of April to the beginning of December. This season corresponds to the rainy season around the whole country. Outdoor activities are not recommended, especially in mountains, since the rains are usually sudden, leaving the roads marshy and impassable.

This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.
