Panama Weather

Isla Palenque is less than 9 degrees north of the equator, which means that temperatures are fairly consistent year round, with daytime temperatures around 90 and nighttimes around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (32 and 21 degrees Celsius). Like much of Panama, it has a so-called “rainy season” from May through November. From December through April in Panama, the weather is sunny and perfect, with hardly any rain.

During most of the so-called "rainy season", mornings and early afternoons are usually sunny while late afternoons and evenings have intermittent rainfall. October and November have the most rain, although whale watchers and sport fisherman love that time of year. Unlike most of the Caribbean, Mexico, and other Central American countries, Panama never experiences hurricanes , giving our beachfront homes a huge advantage over most Central America real estate which lies in the hurricane belt.

Although it is pleasant all year long, the most popular time to travel to our island location is December through April, when the lack of humidity and nearly zero percent chance of rain make it a true tropical paradise. The cool ocean breezes balance the effects of the equatorial sun, making your days full of energy and your nights pleasant for sleeping.

The climate patterns in Panama cooperate with popular travel months. Panama weather in March is perfect for Spring Break seekers to escape the last bit of North American winter, and Panama weather in December makes for an ideal beachfront holiday for those who seek an island property on Isla Palenque.

Isla Palenque is an hour and half from the mountain village of Boquete, where many Americans and Europeans have created a Panama retirement haven. Boquete temperatures are consistently cooler than the rest of the country, and its micro-climate is perfect for growing some of the world's most coveted coffee. The mists rising from the mountainous terrain cloud forests are a pretty site and make for a very pleasant day trip from the tropical sun and ocean breezes of Isla Palenque.
