When to go to Panama Canal and Soberania National Park
December - April
The 77km length of the canal lies within a typical tropical climate, so is hot all year round. The best time to visit falls within these months, when temperatures hover around 29°C and rainfall although possible is at its lowest.

May - November
As summer approaches and stretches into late autumn, you can expect very hot temperatures, increased rainfall and high humidity. That said, the Pacific side of the canal remains cooler, and it is only as you travel north to the Caribbean that these excesses become more likely.
