This rainfall can get very heavy – the other day we got caught up in one of those sudden showers, and before we even realized it (within a matter of minutes or even seconds) we were already totally soaked up to and including the underwear. The good thing about the rain though is that it cools the atmosphere down – in these humid regions, it can be a relief to see the rain drop the temperatures from 30+ to 20 something Celsius.

When it’s raining, it’s raining
Some lines about the weather… Although in the Northern Hemisphere, the current season (rain season, running from May/June until November/December) is referred to by Panameños as “winter”. The mornings are normally sunny and hot, and around midday the rain suddenly starts. On lucky days, this is quickly followed by sunshine, but sometimes it doesn’t stop raining until dawn.
