Panama technically has a hurricane season from June to November because it is part of the wider Caribbean region, but direct hurricanes in Panama are extremely rare. The country sits too close to the equator, which makes it difficult for hurricanes to fully develop or maintain strength. Instead of direct hurricane hits, Panama is more likely to experience heavy rain, flooding, rough seas, and landslides caused by nearby tropical systems.

The rainy season in Panama typically runs from May to November. During these months, the country experiences frequent tropical rain showers, higher humidity, and lush green landscapes, especially in rainforest and mountain regions.
