May - December (Rainy Season)

Rainy Season: While this time of year brings more rain, it can still be a fantastic time to visit Panama. If you're comfortable with brief afternoon showers, you'll enjoy fewer crowds and more affordable rates compared to the high season. Rain usually falls in short, heavy bursts during the afternoon or early evening, with mornings often clear and sunny. Temperatures stay warm and tropical, generally ranging from 80 to 90°F.

Traveling during the rainy season offers lush, vibrant scenery. The forests are at their greenest, waterfalls are full, and wildlife is active. This is an excellent time for birdwatching, jungle hikes, and nature tours. To make the most of your visit, plan outdoor activities in the morning, bring light rain gear, and quick-drying clothing. Despite the rain, these months offer a peaceful way to experience the beautiful nature of Panama.
