Climate
Less than 9 degrees north of the equator, Panamá's temperatures are fairly consistent year round, with daytime temperatures in the 90s and nighttimes around 70, although the Chiriquà highlands get considerably cooler in the mountains. Like most of Panamá, ChiriquÃâs lowlands have a rainy season from May through November and a dry season from December through April. During most of the rainy season, mornings and early afternoons are usually sunny while late afternoons and evenings have intermittent rainfall. Unlike most of the Caribbean, Mexico, and other Central American countries, Panamá does not experience hurricanes. The most popular time to travel to Panamáis December through March, when lack of humidity and nearly zero percent chance of rain make it ideal for travelers.
Understand
Chiriquà Province lies in the southwestern part of Panamá with its capital in David. Chiricanos are like the Texans of Panamá, and are loud, outgoing, and very proud of their province. However, they really seem to have something to be proud of. Chiriquà arguably has the friendliest people and the best landscape in Panamá.
Offering the most varied scenery in this already diverse country, Chiriquà has an array of plant and animal species inhabiting the different ecosystems. ChiriquÃâs topography ranges from the tallest mountain in the country, Volcan Baru located in the highlands, to the more than 30 small islands in the archipelagos of the Gulf of Chiriquà near the coastal town of Boca Chica, known for its world-class sport fishing.
