Rainy Season in Central America


No matter where one goes in the tropics, it doesn't change: There's a dry season and a rainy season. No four seasons here. Dan and I arrived in Panama during the rainy season and didn't see the sun for the first three weeks we were there.

From December through March Panamanians enjoy a sunny dry season (they call it summer, haha). Now the rainy season has started again and God waters the land every afternoon. A few weeks ago we had so much rain so quickly that we literally had a river running down the road. Within half an hour it overwhelmed the drains ... and some unsuspecting drivers who had parked in a low area returned to find their cars submerged to the top of their trunks. Thank goodness it drained just as quickly!
