Forecast

Panama City has tropical rainforest climate. Air pressure is usually low due to its proximity to the equator. The city's coastal and mountainous geography affects air pressure.

Warm ocean air and nearby mountains force warm air upwards, cooling and condensing, creating rain. Air pressure drops when it's warm and humid.

There are two main seasons: dry and wet. During the dry season, air pressure is slightly higher. In the wet season, air pressure is lower with more rain.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone affects air pressure. It's an area near the equator where winds from the north and south meet. This zone brings low air pressure and rain to Panama City.
