Panama City and Pacific beach towns such as Coronado feel the strongest late-dry heat, with March and April often the peak before May rains return: Living in Panama City, Living in Coronado, and Weather. Capital averages stay hot year-round, with dry-season highs commonly near about 30–31°C and nights that rarely feel cool without fans or air conditioning. Inland lowland pockets can feel hotter than the shoreline when sea breezes fade. Caribbean coasts stay warm and sticky, yet their rain calendar differs: Rain.
