Panama has two seasons. The summer season runs from mid-December to May and the green season from May to December. When to go depends on what you want. Summer is generally the driest and sunniest season. It is also windier because of the Northeast trade winds, which makes it a perfect season for sailing, windsurfing, etc.
In the green season the weather can be hot and humid. There is more rain, but there tends to be sudden short downpours that freshen the air and are followed by sunshine. There is no continuous wind, which makes it a perfect season for diving because there is little movement and sea current. Panama is very close to the equator and has a tropical climate. Temperatures vary between 25 to 30º C (80 to 90 Fahrenheit). The humidity is very high.
