Extreme weather
Watch VideosPanama has a crazy weather, especially the rainy season, that it's from April-ish to December, but right now I'm in February-March and it's not raining.
The lightning storms, it is amazing. There is lightning probably every other day, if not every day. Just, and it's not like it's raining. It rains almost every day too. It's interesting because in Panama from about April to December is the rainy season, and then from like December to April to March is the sunny season. So those are two seasons, no winter. It's always hot, but then sometimes it rains more. But with the rain, there would just be lightning storms that were just so, for me, so cool, so beautiful. I loved it. And it wasn't that dangerous lightning. It was just kind of flashes. It wasn't like huge rods of lightning, but just flashes of lightning. It's like every five seconds, God's taking a picture or something, but it just is very common there. I think because of just how humid it is and just how wet it is in the air there. So really cool.
Alright, in Panama it rains a lot and the streets will flood really easily. I remember one time when it started raining really hard and within five minutes it was raining to the point where we were in the house and we couldn't hear anyone talking and we were trapped in the house for about an hour and a half because the streets were flooded and they weren't letting anyone leave, like get onto the streets and we couldn't hear anyone. We were just trapped inside of a house for about an hour while it was just pouring rain. When it rains it pours and there's two seasons in Panama, it's a hot season and a hot and wet season, so just get prepared for a lot of rain and a lot of heat.
