What February feels like in Panama City
February is part of Panama City's dry season, when rain totals drop well below the wet months. Expect proper heat in the afternoon — slow down between noon and four. The gap between afternoon and night is small, so nights stay warm and the temperature hardly changes after dark. Thick, humid air means clothes cling and the heat feels stronger than the number.
