Well, first of all, I have been in the Boquete area since 1992 and lived in an area called Volcancito, Boquete for 4 years. One of the best kept secrets of all of the promoters selling Panama is to explain that in this Bouqete-Volcan area there are many mini micro climates. The climate in any particular place depends on the altitude, which side of the mountain you're on, wind patters and time of the year.

Well, first of all, I have been in the Boquete area since 1992 and lived in an area called Volcancito, Boquete for 4 years. One of the best kept secrets of all of the promoters selling Panama is to explain that in this Bouqete-Volcan area there are many mini micro climates. The climate in any particular place depends on the altitude, which side of the mountain you're on, wind patters and time of the year.

 

For our tourist season, November through April, the dry season, there is a strong almost 24-7 wind that blows from the Caribbean, which causes what is called Bajareque, a misty rain, that can be constant and heavy at times. This knowledge is critical to those coming for a vacation or to stay. I built a beautiful place on the edge of a ravine in the rainy season, only to discover that I could not live there because of this constant strong wind. Subsequently, after learning the many different weather patterns I moved to the Caldera area in a mini river valley out of the wind and rain up in the mountains. Do your homework first and avoid what could be a big disappointment.

The weather in Boquete is nice most of the time. Whenever I wake up and look out my window, it is always beautiful. It starts to rain around September and October. This is our rainy season. Sometimes, we get thunder and lightning and sometimes it rains all night.

Getting enough rain is very important to Panama because they need that rainwater to run the Panama Canal and because the electricity here is generated by hydroelectric dams. There had been times when we were short on rainfall so the government required people to stop using air-conditioning units and some stores were required to shut the lights off so that we can save energy for a couple of weeks. Therefore, we are thankful for the rain. People like it.

 

During this rainy season, what most people do is plan their activities in the morning when it does not rain. Then they can stay indoors and read a book in the afternoons when it starts to rain.

Boquete has such nice weather that you don’t need a heater or air-conditioning, so you save money on your electric bill. The average temperature in Boquete is about 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The weather in Boquete is cool.

However, Boquete has different microclimates, so depending on where you are in Boquete, the climate could be different. Some places have a little bit more humidity and others have the mist, locally called “bajareque.” Other areas are flood areas because the mountains do not protect them and you might get a little bit more rain in these areas, up to three times more rain than in Boquete Town. 
 
Overall, you don’t need air-conditioning in Boquete. Some houses do not even have air-conditioning installed in their houses because it is not needed. From time to time, as the weather changes all over the world, you would need to switch the fan on.
 
Some of the houses we build in Los Molinos have air-conditioning because Los Molinos is located in Alto Boquete and therefore is in a different microclimate. We are protected by a big canyon and the winds that come from the north go into the canyon. There are times when we get more winds than other areas of Boquete but we don’t experience the humidity that you would experience in some areas of Boquete.

The weather comes in two seasons: Awesome with wind, which is Thanksgiving to about May Day

Or Awesome with rain, which is from May Day to Thanksgiving.

 

Awesome with rain means after lunch it rains for the afternoon. The weather is awesome before the rain, but more humid afterwards. Awesome with wind means no rain at all for the five months, but the winds can be so strong they may wake you up at night. 30-50 MPH gusts is common now. Sunny all the time,...

Awesome with rain means after lunch it rains for the afternoon. The weather is awesome before the rain, but more humid afterwards. Awesome with wind means no rain at all for the five months, but the winds can be so strong they may wake you up at night. 30-50 MPH gusts is common now. Sunny all the time, with few clouds. Either season, temps are from 60-80 degrees, depending on time of day/

 

If you choose to go farther south to places like Los Algarrobos, add 5 degrees. Go farther south to David, ad another 5 degrees, meaning get used to 90 degree temps, no trees, and plenty of concrete for the heat to reflect off of. Not recommended for long-term living. David sits in a  valley of heat. Think LA, without the smog.

The average temperature in Boquete is about the same the whole year round; between 60˚F to the low 80s. It feels spring like almost every day throughout the year.
 
The only difference is there are months that it’s rainier. The rain starts coming more in May and then it’s more rain in June and July. The rainiest months are August, September, and October and then after November it starts raining less. During the rainy season it’s a little bit more humid but...

The only difference is there are months that it’s rainier. The rain starts coming more in May and then it’s more rain in June and July. The rainiest months are August, September, and October and then after November it starts raining less. During the rainy season it’s a little bit more humid but it’s never extremely humid. It’s never above the uncomfortable range. 
 
I’ve heard that there are something in the area of 30 different micro-climates here. Essentially, what they’re referring to is that depending on what side of the mountain you’re on, you may get more winds, less wind, you may have higher temperature, or lower temperatures. Some areas might be more moist. Some areas are literally flat, while some are very moutainous. As you’re going around the mountains, as you’re going up and down in the elevation, you will notice changes because of all those factors. 
 
It can get windy but It’s certainly not all year round. The worst time for the strongest winds is in January and February, which we have noticed consistently. This year, we had some days when it was extremely windy. The level of the wind also depends on where you are in Boquete. We get the medium range of wind where we’re located, close to downtown.  There are some areas in Volcancito you can fly away during the windy season. The Alto Boquete area is another area that’s pretty large, flat and open, so the winds can be really, really strong.  This all takes place in January or February, typically. By the beginning of March, the winds in Boquete have died down.

Greetings exparts community.

The average temperature in Boquete is between 21 to 28 Celsius or 69 to 83 Fahrenheit. It also depends on the season.  If it rains two or three days in a row the temperature will be cooler than other days, but again, this is not common. We don't have snow or a super hot summer but we do have a more humid climate so the thermal sensation is very important to take in consideration.

It also depends on which part of Boquete you are because within a 8 mile radius the altitude changes a lot such that the wind so in your house could be a lot cooler than in Boquete Downtown. 

I hope all this facts help you making the choice of your dream home. 

Wish you a good day!
