The transition between seasons – “winter” and “summer”, which in fact are “rainy season” and “dry season in Panama,” – happens at the same time as these much-anticipated holidays: Christmas and New Year.
Around this time each year we get the dry season, school holidays, “cooler” weather, trips to the beach … seasons change, and everybody cheers up! In this bulletin, we will talk about the dry season, now that it has started.
For years, scientists have stated that tropical environments are more stable and predictable than temperate ones, showing no significant variations throughout the year. Those scientists have not lived here. We all have seen and felt the consequences of the variation in precipitation. We have our own seasonality.
