to mid December.

WEATHER SEASONS IN PANAMA

Dry season
Is the main tourist season, not so much
for the absence of rainfall, but also
because snow bird Americans and
Europeans are looking to escape to a
warm climate in the winter months.

WEATHER SEASONS IN PANAMA

Characteristics
This is the hottest time of the year, with
the highest temperatures.
In the summer, the days are longer
(compared to other stations) and the
nights shorter.
There is absence of rainfall.
When the sun goes higher on the horizon
the weather is warmer.

THE NIO IN PANAMA

El Nio is expected to continue strong during the Northern
Hemisphere winter 2015-16 (Source: CPC / NCEP / NWS
12.10.2015).
For the continuity of this event are expected they accumulated below
normal in the country during dry or rainy little in the Pacific slope
season, and the same situation is expected in the Caribbean slope.
An abnormal warming of surface waters in the Caribbean Sea can
provide instability in the atmosphere, so do not rule out some days
of heavy rain in the region.

WEATHER SEASONS IN PANAMA

Green season (Winter)
And the green season is much greener.
Panama sparkles and comes to life
after a tropical rain. Moreover the rain
doesn't normally last more than an
hour and evaporates so quickly you'll
forget it was there.

WEATHER SEASONS IN PANAMA

CHARACTERISTICS
Winter is the coldest season of the year.
during the winter days the temperatures
are lower and there are fewer hours of
sunlight.
In some regions, according to latitude,
altitude and certain weather conditions,
you can watch the snow fall.
The lower shorter days, longer nights and
temperatures.

WEATHER SEASONS IN U.S.A

spring - March Equinox to June Solstice;
Across the central states from late fall to spring, "Panhandle
hook" storms move from the central Rockies into the
Oklahoma/Texas panhandle areas, then northeast toward the
Great Lakes. They generate unusually large temperature
contrasts, and often bring copious Gulf moisture northward,
From late fall to spring, the New England states, especially
coastal and island areas - intense storms that can bring very
high winds, heavy rains, prodigious snowfalls and damaging
coastal storm surges topped by battering waves.

SUMMER SEASON IN U.S.A

Summers in the Pacific Northwest are generally cool,
especially along the coastline.
In the summer months, average highs in cities like Seattle
and Portland are from 70 to 79F (21 to 26C) with lows from
50 to 59F (10 to 15C).
During the summer, the Southwestmonsooncombined with
Gulf of CaliforniaandGulf of Mexicomoisture moving around the
subtropical ridgein the Atlantic ocean and evening thunderstorms to
the southern.

AUTUMN IN U.S.A
Precipitation is usually greatest during the autumn
months when the hurricane season peaks, and
driest in the late winter and early spring. Puerto
Rico's mountainous terrain can produce
considerable local variations in temperature and
rainfall.

WINTER IN U.S.A
In winter, daily temperatures in the southwest are cooler with
highs in the 60s (15 -20 C) and lows in the 30s and 40s (0 - 10
C).
In winter, average daily high temperatures range from the 40F
(4C) (upper South: northern Arkansas, Kentucky and Virginia), to
the 60F (16C) along the Gulf Coast and South Atlantic coast
(Charleston southward), with 70F (21C) in central and southern
Florida and far southern Texas. Average daily lows in winter range
from 20F (7C) north to 40F (4C) along the Gulf and far
South Atlantic coasts, with 50F (10C) in Florida and coastal
south Texas.

CONCLUSION
In Panama The dry season usually has
its onset in mid-December. By this
time, strong winds known as "trade
winds" begin to blow, with little or no
Rainfall for many consecutive weeks.
Daytime temperatures rise slightly, but
nighttime temperatures remain around
22-23 C. The rainy season begins
around May 1, but may also vary by
one or two weeks, with the arrival of
rains, temperatures drop slightly during
the day, and the trade winds disappear.
